;Usage is simple:
;Create a mousey cursor and assign it a control using mousey_init()
;when you are done with it, use mousey_close() to clean up.
;Assigns a mouse cursor to a control
;whatcontrol = hwnd of control (without the ahk_id prefix)
;whatcursor = one of the various cursors (see mousey_choose)
;returns handle to mouse cursor
mousey_init(whatcontrol,whatcursor=""){
thiscursor := mousey_choose(whatcursor)
thiscursorhandle:=DllCall("LoadCursor","UInt",NULL,"Int",thiscursor,"UInt") ;IDC_HAND
OnMessage(0x200,Func("mousey_move").bind(whatcontrol,thiscursorhandle) )
return thiscursorhandle
}
;callback function - used internally by mousey_init()
mousey_move(whatcontrol,whatcursor){
mousegetpos,,,,thiscontrol,2
if(thiscontrol = whatcontrol)
DllCall("SetCursor","UInt",whatcursor)
}
;destroy the mouse cursor handle
mousey_close(whatcursorhandle){
OnMessage(0x200,"")
DllCall("DestroyCursor","Uint",whatcursorhandle)
}
;You specify what cursor you want, and mousey_choose() returns the cursor ID
;This is used internally by mousey_init()
mousey_choose(whatcursor="arrow"){
