okay, this is a really stupid question, but how do I get a custom icon and cursor into my application? I already have the necessary files (the icon and cursor) and have been using the LoadIcon(...) and Load Cursor(...) functions but nothing happens. I''m using VC++ 6.0. I use the filename for the string for the second argument, any thing I''m missing here? "I am become Death, Destroyer of Worlds" -Hindu Holy Book

If I don''t have them as a resource in the executable, I load them using LoadImage. You have to cast the type of the return value, so for an icon:
HICON hIcon = (HICON)LoadImage(0,"myIcon.ico",IMAGE_ICON,0,0,LR_DEFUALTSIZE | LR_LOADFROMFILE);
And for a cursor:
HCURSOR hCursor = (HCURSOR)LoadImage(0,"myCursor.cur",IMAGE_CURSOR,0,0,LR_DEFUALTSIZE | LR_LOADFROMFILE);
You can also load bitmaps, just pass IMAGE_BITMAP...
