Windows8 Set Cursor to sprite

Hello,

OK, I am new here, and I have read Ashley's post 'Howe to get a good response when asking for help.

This is actually just a general 'can it be done?' question.

So I have not included a .capx.

Question: Is it possible to set the Cursor To Sprite, and have a Windows8 app use it?

I am working on a game that I also want to publish to Windows8.

If the user is using mouse input I set the Cursor to sprite image.

This works fine in a browser.

If I export to Windows8 to test the game the mouse uses the default cursor - it does not use the sprite at all.

Thanks...

Hi michael,

I made a plugin specifically for this - check it out: http://www.scirra.com/forum/plugin-cur-cursors_topic59831.html

Hi thehen,

hehehe, yeah I actually saw that while I was searching for answer to this topic but I thought I was for actual cursor files...

I will give it go pronto.

Thanks for your help, very much appreciated.

It is for .cur cursor files. That's the only format IE on Windows 8 supports I'm afraid, but it works very well. You can see it in action here: http://youtu.be/IHc9LJ_AbMI

OK, showing my noob status now!

Got your plugin - Thanks!!

Made a cursor, but can't seam to find how to how to get it into Construct....

Right click on the 'Files' folder and 'Import files'. That should work for you.

Knew it would be simple, works a treat.

I think I need sleep or coffee <img src="smileys/smiley9.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Thanks for your help.

Cool, glad it works :)
