FIX: DragIcon Property with Cursor Files Does Not Work in an EXE

MORE INFORMATION

When using certain cursor files that shipped with Visual Studio 97, the executable version of an application ignores the DragIcon property. The cursor files that do not work with the DragIcon property in an executable file follow:

• 4way01.cur
• 4way02.cur
• 4way03.cur
• 4way06.cur
• 4way07.cur
• 4way08.cur
• 4way09.cur
• C_wait02.cur
• Ew_06.cur
• Normal02.cur

Cursor files 4way04.cur, 4way05.cur, and Cross04.cur do function properly.

NOTE: This is not intended as a comprehensive list of cursor files and their suitability for usage with the DragIcon property.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Create a project called Test.
2. Add a main program file to the project that contains the following code:

         DO FORM Test
         READ EVENTS

3. Create a form called Test and add a shape to the form. Set the following properties of the shape object:

         BackColor=255,0,0
         DragMode=1
         DragIcon=devstudio\Samples\graphics\cursor\4way01.cur
   						

   ** NOTE: The above path to 4way01.cur may need to be changed.
4. Add a command button containing the following code in the Click event:

         ThisForm.Release
         CLEAR EVENTS

5. Build an application file and execute under it Visual FoxPro development environment.
6. Drag the shape object and notice the DragIcon is the specified cursor.
7. Now build an executable file and run it outside of Visual FoxPro.
8. Drag the shape and notice that no icon appears.
