i got a global mouse hook working but..

now i want to change the cursor globally so i can see it throughout the duration of the hook and allow me to select a color anywhere on the screen (ie: entire desktop). i know it's possible since there are commercial products that do this very thing. the hook is one thing but changing the cursor is another (i know the SetCursor message is not sent into my hook proc so i can only assume it is not considered a mouse message).

Please do not cross post. Almost a guaranteed way to get ignored.

how do you mean cross-post? i posted it in 2 distinct and unrelated places - this public forum and the forum related to the specific article i was referring to. sorry, i'm new here.

That is the definition of cross posting. You posted the exact same thing in two places. It wastes your time and everyone else's time and is considered rude.
