I have a D2010 application that I am converting to XE7 on Windows7. I have everything working except the ability to change the mouse pointers. I use a set of 4 new pointers that I assign to the screen.cursors array with a series of statements:

Screen.Cursors[crDuplex] := LoadCursorA(HInstance, 'DUPLEX');

Then I assign the cursor property of the image with the new pointer: image.cursor := crDuplex;

When I move the mouse over the image component it is supposed to change to the Duplex cursor. It works perfectly in D2010 but XE7 seems to completely ignore the cursor property.
I am using the latest version of Graphics32 for my image container, specifically TImgView32.

Update: I found that XE7 will not accept the original .res file that I used in D2010. When I try to edit the current one to add the new cursors I get the error:
[dcc32 Error] E2161 Error: RLINK32: Unsupported 16bit resource in file "D:\Project\Program.res"

How does one create the appropriate cursor resource in a .res file?

Fixed it.The special cursors need to be in a special .res file containing only a cursor group. This is added by the compiler directive {$R cursor.res}. It appears that the program .res file is rebuilt every time the code is compiled or built.
