Assistance requested - Custom cursors not visible over control.

[perps]

Greetings to all.

 

I'm building a MSPaint style simple paint program, and i'm trying to implement custom cursors for the different drawing modes (line, square, fill etc). Problem is, any custom cursor i create and then assign for a particular control (in this case a picture box, which is acting as my drawing canvas) is not visible. I have made sure to make the created custom cursor as an embedded resource, and I know that the code that is calling for the cursor is ok, as the call is made and the cursor changes from the regular pointer to an invisible one. The invisible cursor still functions as normal, i.e. I am still able to draw on the canvas with it etc.

 

Any ideas on this one?? I've been trawling the web with little success and was hoping that some learned individual on this forum might know the score.

 

Thanks in advance,
