Inheritance diagram for wxCursor:
Detailed Description
A cursor is a small bitmap usually used for denoting where the mouse pointer is, with a picture that might indicate the interpretation of a mouse click.
As with icons, cursors in X and MS Windows are created in a different manner. Therefore, separate cursors will be created for the different environments. Platform-specific methods for creating a wxCursor object are catered for, and this is an occasion where conditional compilation will probably be required (see wxIcon for an example).
A single cursor object may be used in many windows (any subwindow type). The wxWidgets convention is to set the cursor for a window, as in X, rather than to set it globally as in MS Windows, although a global wxSetCursor() function is also available for MS Windows use.
Creating a Custom Cursor
The following is an example of creating a cursor from 32x32 bitmap data (down_bits) and a mask (down_mask) where 1 is black and 0 is white for the bits, and 1 is opaque and 0 is transparent for the mask. It works on Windows and GTK+.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation
| wxCursor::wxCursor | ( | ) |
Default constructor.
| wxCursor::wxCursor | ( | const char | bits[], |
| int | width, | ||
| int | height, | ||
| int | hotSpotX = -1, |
||
| int | hotSpotY = -1, |
||
| const char | maskBits[] = NULL |
||
| ) |
Constructs a cursor by passing an array of bits (XBM data).
The parameters fg and bg have an effect only on GTK+, and force the cursor to use particular background and foreground colours.
If either hotSpotX or hotSpotY is -1, the hotspot will be the centre of the cursor image (Motif only).
- Parameters
-
bits An array of XBM data bits. width Cursor width. height Cursor height. hotSpotX Hotspot x coordinate (relative to the top left of the image). hotSpotY Hotspot y coordinate (relative to the top left of the image). maskBits Bits for a mask bitmap.
wxPerl Note: In wxPerl use Wx::Cursor->newData(bits, width, height, hotSpotX = -1, hotSpotY = -1, maskBits = 0).
| wxCursor::wxCursor | ( | const wxString & | cursorName, |
| wxBitmapType | type = wxCURSOR_DEFAULT_TYPE, |
||
| int | hotSpotX = 0, |
||
| int | hotSpotY = 0 |
||
| ) |
Constructs a cursor by passing a string resource name or filename.
The arguments hotSpotX and hotSpotY are only used when there's no hotspot info in the resource/image-file to load (e.g. when using wxBITMAP_TYPE_ICO under wxMSW or wxBITMAP_TYPE_XPM under wxGTK).
- Parameters
-
cursorName The name of the resource or the image file to load. type Icon type to load. It defaults to wxCURSOR_DEFAULT_TYPE, which is a #define associated to different values on different platforms:- under Windows, it defaults to
wxBITMAP_TYPE_CUR_RESOURCE. Other permitted types under Windows arewxBITMAP_TYPE_CUR(to load a cursor from a .cur cursor file),wxBITMAP_TYPE_ICO(to load a cursor from a .ico icon file) andwxBITMAP_TYPE_ANI(to load a cursor from a .ani icon file). - under MacOS, it defaults to
wxBITMAP_TYPE_MACCURSOR_RESOURCE; when specifying a string resource name, first the color cursors 'crsr' and then the black/white cursors 'CURS' in the resource chain are scanned through. Note that resource forks are deprecated on OS X so this is only available for legacy reasons and should not be used in new code. - under GTK, it defaults to
wxBITMAP_TYPE_XPM. See the wxCursor(const wxImage& image) ctor for more info. - under X11, it defaults to
wxBITMAP_TYPE_XPM. - under Motif, it defaults to
wxBITMAP_TYPE_XBM.
hotSpotX Hotspot x coordinate (relative to the top left of the image). hotSpotY Hotspot y coordinate (relative to the top left of the image). - under Windows, it defaults to
| wxCursor::wxCursor | ( | wxStockCursor | cursorId | ) |
Constructs a cursor using a cursor identifier.
- Parameters
-
cursorId A stock cursor identifier. See wxStockCursor.
| wxCursor::wxCursor | ( | const wxImage & | image | ) |
Constructs a cursor from a wxImage.
If cursor are monochrome on the current platform, colors with the RGB elements all greater than 127 will be foreground, colors less than this background. The mask (if any) will be used to specify the transparent area.
In wxMSW the foreground will be white and the background black. If the cursor is larger than 32x32 it is resized.
In wxGTK, colour cursors and alpha channel are supported (starting from GTK+ 2.2). Otherwise the two most frequent colors will be used for foreground and background. In any case, the cursor will be displayed at the size of the image.
Under wxMac (Cocoa), large cursors are supported.
Notice that the image can define the cursor hot spot. To set it you need to use wxImage::SetOption() with wxIMAGE_OPTION_CUR_HOTSPOT_X or wxIMAGE_OPTION_CUR_HOTSPOT_Y, e.g.
| wxCursor::wxCursor | ( | const wxCursor & | cursor | ) |
Copy constructor, uses reference counting.
- Parameters
-
cursor Pointer or reference to a cursor to copy.
|
virtual |
Destroys the cursor.
See reference-counted object destruction for more info.
A cursor can be reused for more than one window, and does not get destroyed when the window is destroyed. wxWidgets destroys all cursors on application exit, although it is best to clean them up explicitly.
