Hi! I wonder if somebody knows how to do this: What I am trying to do is control the shape of the mouse cursor, depending on the state of "engine" thread. We have OnSetCursor methods and all works well - as long as the mouse is physically moved! I would love to be able to post a message from the "engine" thread to the "display" thread to trigger the appropriate OnSetCursor method. There are multiple windows, so there are 8-10 different OnSetCursor methods. I tried a line like:
theApp.PostFEThreadMessage(WM_SETCURSOR, 0, 0);
I'm looking at a particular window (the one the mouse is actually on top of), but it is clear from SPY++ that the message I'm sending is not getting there. (Actual mouse moves DO show messages as expected.) BTW this "PostFEThreadMessage" method works fine for sending WM_USER messages.
I've looked around and I can find many mentions of "how to change the mouse cursor", but they all seem to rely either on mouse movement or making a permanent change for the window. Not quite what I'm looking for.
Am I on the right track? Thanks a bunch!
