custom cursor in UWP

Question

Hello,

I want to use custom cursor types (images) in my UWP app.

I found in net if there are two solutions:

1. Using c++ resource file
2. Using Community Toolkit

I dont like these solutions.

Is there a solution where I can do this task using only pure UWP and C#?

Maybe there is a solution where I can use cursor file, ex: mycursor.cur.

I want to have many customs cursors in my project.

Answer 1

Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

Is there a solution where I can do this task using only pure UWP and C#?

If you want to change the cursor with custom image, adding the c++ resource file and using CoreCursorType.Custom is correct way to do it. Currently, there is no other ways that you could set the cursor with custom image via API directly.

Thank you.
