if you want to change shape use
HCURSOR hcur=LoadCursor(AfxGetApp()->m_hInstance,(LPCTSTR)IDC_HAND);
SetCursor(hcur);

I think you should instantiate the CWaitCursor class like this:

CWaitCursor pLengthyOperation;// show a wait cursor on screen

Good luck and keep the good coding! CWaitCursor Class[^]

See my post below.
And Yes SetCursor is used to set the shape of the cursor.

As said above, you could use SetCusrsor, see to that you use :: global scope to use it. ::SetCursor(hcursor)

<br />
#ifndef IDC_HAND<br />
#define IDC_HAND   MAKEINTRESOURCE(32649) <br />
#endif<br />

Put these lines of the code somewhere at the top of the file where you are using IDC_HAND.
It will work

Put Sleep(10000); after the statement SetCursor() and you will be able to see the cursor in the shape of the hand

Hey, try this : Go to insert menu, select resource, select Cursor type, click on import, now you select any .cur file you want to display. So many types are available in C:\windows\cursors directory. Now your cursor is included in your resource. Now, when you look into your resource.h file, you'll find a new entry,
#define IDC_CURSOR1 135, (you could change the name to IDC_CURSOR1 to IDC_HAND or anything accordingly.
now try this code :

<br />
SetClassLong(m_hWnd,GCL_HCURSOR,(LONG)LoadCursor(AfxGetInstanceHandle(),  MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDC_CURSOR1)));<br />

You probably are calling SetWindowText in a wrong place. Try calling it in OnInitDialog at the end.

Otherwise give us more details regarding the exception. Maybe the passed string is invalid?

The most likely reason for the exception is that the window isn't created.
Call SetWindowText() from the OnInitDialog function.

Yes, You can use Visual C++ for developing web applications. You can write applications that run in support of a web server and process web requests and responses by unsing ISAPI feature.

ISAPI Extension Wizrad ( Developer Studion Project Wizard ) will help you develop such an application.
