Description

The MouseIcon property provides a custom icon that is used when the MousePointer property is set to esriPointerCustom (99).

If the ToolbarPalette has also been added to the ToolbarControl, the ToolbarControl will override the MouseIcon property with the IToolbarControl::MouseIcon property, before the ToolbarPalette is displayed with the IToolbarPalette::PopupPalette method.

Remarks

In most development evironments a cursor (.cur) or icon (.ico) file can be loaded. A cursor contains a custom 'hotspot' location and can be any size. The 'hotspot' location for an icon file defaults to the center of the icon. This property cannot be used to load animated cursor (.ani) files.

To programatically create an object implementing IPictureDisp there is the win32 function OleLoadPicture or helper methods depending on the development environment.

IToolbarPalette toolbarPalette = (IToolbarPalette) axToolbarControl1.GetItem(0);
Icon icon = new Icon(GetType().Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(GetType(), "myIcon.ico"));
toolbarPalette.MouseIcon = (stdole.IPictureDisp) ESRI.ArcGIS.ADF.COMSupport.OLE.GetIPictureDispFromIcon(icon);
toolbarPalette.MousePointer = esriControlsMousePointer.esriPointerCustom;

Dim toolbarPalette As IToolbarPalette = AxToolbarControl1.GetItem(0)
Dim pIcon As Icon = New Icon(GetType(Form1).Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream(GetType(Form1), "myIcon.ico"))
toolbarPalette.MouseIcon = ESRI.ArcGIS.ADF.COMSupport.OLE.GetIPictureDispFromIcon(pIcon)
toolbarPalette.MousePointer = esriControlsMousePointer.esriPointerCustom
