How to change the mouse cursor into a custom one when working with Windows Forms applications?

Question

In a UserControl I want to change the mouse cursor from the arrow, to a hand icon.
What I currently do is this:

this.Cursor = Cursors.Hand;
         


        

Answer 1

I tested this method. It's OK. This is my apply:

    [System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("user32.dll")]
    public static extern IntPtr LoadCursorFromFile(string fileName);
    Cursor myCursor;
    private void tsbtn_ZoomIn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        IntPtr handle = LoadCursorFromFile("view_zoom_in.cur");
        myCursor = new Cursor(handle);
        zg1.Cursor = myCursor;
    }
