GetCursorInfo has different Results Topic is solved

[Guest123]

When using the following code, I have on different machines (both Windows7 64bit) different thiscursors:
As an example for A_Cursor=Arrow (standard arrow) shown on both machines correct, i get on one machine thiscursor=65541, while the other shows thiscursor=65539
Does anyone has an idea why? How to make to behave same?

Code: Select all

#persistent

Settimer c, 500
return	

c:
  thiscursor:=QueryMouseCursor()
  Tooltip, thiscursor=%thiscursor%`nA_Cursor=%A_Cursor%
return

QueryMouseCursor()
{
	NumPut(VarSetCapacity(CurrentCursorStruct, A_PtrSize + 16), CurrentCursorStruct, "uInt")
	DllCall("GetCursorInfo", "ptr", &CurrentCursorStruct)
	return (numP:=NumGet(CurrentCursorStruct,  8))
}

The number you get is a handle, not a constant identifier. What exactly are you trying to do?

Code: Select all

65539  -> NORMAL
65541  -> INSERT
65543  -> WAIT
65545  -> CROSS
65547  -> UP
65549  -> RESIZE_NW_SE
65551  -> RESIZE_NE_SW
65553  -> RESIZE_EW
65555  -> RESIZE_NS
65557  -> MOVE
65559  -> NOT_ALLOWED
65561  -> PROGRESS
65563  -> HELP

Want to check the cursor changes to Standard Cursor. But as I had problems a made this small script. So I expected that always 65539 (Normal) for Standard Cursor appears. What I don't understand why on a other system the for Standard cursor 65541 returns, which is normally Insertcursor (making my script not working). Checked the Mouse-systemcontrol, it is identical on both system.

@ jNizM, as indicated by the the first post, you cannot rely on those numbers being constant identifiers, and I've seen no documentation suggesting you can, did you?

@Guest123, you can get the handles to the usual cursors with the LoadCursor function, passing the IDC_* constants, and then compare them to the handle you get from GetCursorInfo (or GetCursor). I still wonder what the goal is though.

Cheers.

So why not use A_Cursor?

@Helgef: Thanks a lot, that was it! I wanted to understand why GetCursorInfo differs on different systems (Surely I could use also A_CURSOR). I found exactly the constants of jNizM which were not working on my machine.

That's exactly what AHK does when populating A_Cursor.

Thanks for the info just me
