Great Video. Really a lot beneficial for me as a beginner in C++ Win32 programming. Thanks a lot. Please keep making more C++ Win32 videos.

Thanks for sharing!! Setting the linker sub-system to Windows instead of Console combined with "wchar_t" and "L" fixed my problems!

So I am trying to make a program where I use the pre-existing interface for the mouse and keyboard. I looked through the Microsoft page and found some code that was helpful, but I do not know how to implement it. This is the code

// Create a standard hourglass cursor.

hCurs1 = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_WAIT);

// Create a custom cursor based on a resource.

hCurs2 = LoadCursor(hinst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(240));

Do you have any idea on how I could implement it. Thank you and great vid.
