Cursor Types

A cursor VxD must draw the cursor appropriately for each video mode it supports. The VxD must draw a graphics cursor in graphics mode and a text cursor in text mode. A graphics cursor is a bitmapped image that moves over the images on the screen and can move to any pixel position on the display. A text cursor is typically either a block the size of a character cell, or a horizontal line that is one character-cell wide and one or more scan lines tall. A text cursor can occupy any character cell on the display. By default, VMOUSE displays a block cursor in text modes and an arrow cursor in graphics modes.
