SwapChainPanelCursor

An example on how to change the default cursor in a SwapChainPanel

Getting Started

The following applications are required to be installed:

Visual Studio 2017 or 2019 with C++ Windows Universal App Development package installed

Build and Run

Open the SwapChainPanelCursor.sln with Visual Studio 2017 or 2019
Select the x64/Any CPU configuration
Double-click on the Package.appxmanifest file in the SwapChainPanelCursor project.
- Navigate to the Packaging tab
- Click on Choose Certificate...
- Click on Configure Certificate...
- Select Create test certificate...
- Click on OK (do not enter a password)
Build the solution
Run the SwapChainPanelCursor application.
- Move the mouse pointer over the SwapChainPanel. The cursor should remain a hand cursor.
- Click on the Change Cursor button. The cursor should change to a cross hair over the window and the SwapChainPanel.

Comments

In the file DirectXPage.xaml.cpp, look at the SetCursor() function. You will see that we need to change the cursor for both the CoreWindow and the SwapChainPanel.

void SwapChainPanelCursor::DirectXPage::SetCursor(Windows::UI::Core::CoreCursor^ cursor)
{
    m_currentCursor = cursor;
    CoreWindow::GetForCurrentThread()->PointerCursor = m_currentCursor;
    m_coreInput->Dispatcher->RunAsync(CoreDispatcherPriority::Normal, ref new DispatchedHandler([this]() {
        m_coreInput->PointerCursor = m_currentCursor;
    }));
}

Look at the page's constructor for how to set up the required CoreIndependentInputSource that is needed to set the cursor for the SwapChainPanel.
