SUMMARY
The cursor functions SetCursorPos, GetCursorPos, ShowCursor, and ClipCursor
are not included in Winuser.h for the Handheld PC and Palm-size PC Platform
SDK because mouse cursors are not supported on these platforms. The online
documentation is not complete in this regard. These functions are available
only on platforms where mouse cursors are supported; for example, the
Embedded Toolkit PC-Based Hardware Development Platform. You will get a
compile error if you use these functions in an application that targets a
Windows CE platform that doesn't have mouse cursor support.
Do not use the SetCursorPos, GetCursorPos, ShowCursor and ClipCursor
functions with Windows CE platforms that don't have mouse cursor support.
This behavior is by design.
