DOC: Cursor Functions Not Included in Winuser.h for Windows CE

ID: Q192538


The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Windows CE Toolkit for Visual C++ 6.0
  • Microsoft Windows CE version 2.0 for the Handheld PC
  • Microsoft Windows CE version 2.0 for the Palm-size PC


SUMMARY

The cursor functions SetCursorPos, GetCursorPos, ShowCursor, and ClipCursor are not included in Winuser.h for the Handheld PC and Palm-size PC Platform SDK because mouse cursors are not supported on these platforms. The online documentation is not complete in this regard. These functions are available only on platforms where mouse cursors are supported; for example, the Embedded Toolkit PC-Based Hardware Development Platform. You will get a compile error if you use these functions in an application that targets a Windows CE platform that doesn't have mouse cursor support.

Do not use the SetCursorPos, GetCursorPos, ShowCursor and ClipCursor functions with Windows CE platforms that don't have mouse cursor support.

This behavior is by design.
