PRB: LoadCursor() Fails on IDC_SIZE/IDC_ICON (131280)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Platform Software Development Kit (SDK) 1.0, when used with:
    • Microsoft Windows 95
    • the operating system: Microsoft Windows 2000
This article was previously published under Q131280

SYMPTOMS

LoadCursor() returns NULL when passed IDC_SIZE or IDC_ICON for a second parameter.

CAUSE

IDC_SIZE and IDC_ICON are obsolete. They are available only for backward compatibility. Applications marked as a version 4.0 application are not able to load these cursors under Windows 95 or Windows 2000.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
