Color values for cursor symbols?

Hello programmers,

I want to draw an orange or a lightblue cursor (.cur) symbol, but I'm not managed to acheive that. It works when I use bmp files, so what's the problem?

I use C# and can create easely a bmp file with the right color using System.Drawing library for example: Color.Orange. But when I make a cursor out of it than Mappoint seems not to recognise the color while the same colortype is recognised in a bmp file. I get a grey color instead. So, I don't know what's wrong, maybe a bug in Mappoint?

Anyone a tip, suggestion or experience?

Thank you.

Re: Color values for cursor symbols?

Hi,

Maybe a bug that has something to do with the transparent color option in the pushpin symbols ? Try to change color of first left / top pixel (0,0) to some else.
