Hello,

Is there a cross platform (or a GTK/QT solution if not) how to get from X,Y the mouse cursor handle and from there to translate it to it's original icon ?

Thanks,

Ido

How it is to get a cursor from X,Y?

Best regards,

What do you want:
- an screenshot of the cursor,
- or get the icon associated with the current cursor,
- or set the cursor to another (arrow) shape?

I'm not sure that I understand your question

I have the Cursor handle from X, I need to find the associate cursor (depend on the window) of an external program running X.

I read few times trying to undersatnd but it sounds too cryptic for me.

What is X? Some application or X server?

"associate cursor (depend on the window) of an external program" - can you explain better what is this?

Anyway, icon extraction from the cursor handle is not implemented in LCL and is not possible on some systems (as I remember).

X-Server

On X-Server you can have custom made mouse cursors that can be loaded in an on demand situations.
That's what I wish to have, the icon of the mouse cursor itself as loaded into X-Server . So its the associated icon to the specific window.

This should be common to most platforms.

You know more about X-Server than I do, so you should try to find an according function, and call it yourself.

Even if the cursor handle may be read-write, the bitmaps most probably are write-only.
