Altura and SetCursor

[Christian Sakowski]

Hi all,

the upgrade documentation says:

==Altura==
"4D v11 will be the last major version to support plugins that use  
ASINTPPC.dll. If your plugin still relies upon this dll, we encourage  
you to do what is necessary to remove this dependency."

Now i still have the problem to set the cursor by native WIN32 API  
commands. The following test code:


//
******************************************************************************

void DoArea(PA_PluginParameters);
void hmTest(PA_PluginParameters);

void PluginMain(long selector, PA_PluginParameters params){
       
        switch(selector){
                case   1 :
                        DoArea(params);
                        break;
     }

}


//
******************************************************************************
void DoArea(PA_PluginParameters params){
        PA_AreaEvent event;
               
        event=PA_GetAreaEvent(params);
       
        switch(event){
                case eAE_InitAdvancedProperties:
                        break;
            case eAE_Cursor:
            #if WINVER
                SetCursor(LoadCursor(0,IDC_CROSS));
         #endif
                break;
            case eAE_Idle:
            #if WINVER
                SetCursor(LoadCursor(0,IDC_CROSS));
         #endif
                break;
            default:PA_DontTakeEvent(params);
                break;
        }
       
}
//
******************************************************************************

If i go with the cursor over the area i got flickering between a cross  
cursor and the arrow cursor. How can i solve the problem????

I have reported the problem: ACI0053802 (2007/08/30)

Hello Christian,

For this particular point you still need to call the Altura SetCursor to avoid conflicts with the direct API calls. (Altura is not aware of your changes and swap to its own defined cursor)

We try to help you make your code less dependant of Altura, but for this one you still need to call Altura. It won't be anyawy a problem for v11. If this the last point that keep this DLL link mandatory for your code, probably an entry point will be a good way to drop it definitely. If others sees some other mandatory uses of Altura, we can have a look at it.
