1. wxEuphoria setMousePointer
Is there an equivalent of Win32Lib's setMousePointer() procedure in wxEuphoria?
I just downloaded the latest version of wxEuphoria, but I could not find it
anywhere. If it isn't there, will it be difficult to add it?
I also noticed that the client.exw and server.exw demos crash because of a small
commenting error on line 1411 in wxNet.e
I really like what I have seen about wxEuphoria so far and if I can get the
mousepointer thing to work, I will try to convert my EuSudoku game from Win32Lib
to wxEuphoria, so it will be cross-platform.
Thanks,
Erik-Jan

It is there, just really, really poorly documented. You need to create a
wxCursor (which you can find in the docs under Classes), and then use
set_cursor( window, cursor ) (which isn't documented at all). I'll add the
docs for set_cursor() to Controls for the next release.

Thanks, I'll get that fixed for the next release.

Thanks. Please let me know if you find anything else that you think is missing
or wrong.

Thanks for you quick reply Matt.
I have found the set_cursor function and was able to change the cursor into one
of the predefined cursors, without problems.
Next I would like to create a custom cursor, for example from xpm data. After
some research in the wxwidgets manuals, I know there is a constructor for the
wxCursor class that takes a wxImage as an argument. A wxImage can be created from
a wxBitmap using wxBitmap::ConverToImage().
From the connect4_game.exw demo I know how to create a wxBitmap from xpm data,
but I can't figure out how to convert the wxBitmap to a wxImage and then to a
wxCursor in wxEuphoria.
What's the best approach to get this done in wxEuphoria?

There appears to be a constructor for wxImage that takes a wxBitmap. However,
this is deprecated, and it isn't exported from the windows dll. As for
wxBitmap::ConvertToImage(), it returns the wxImage by value, so it will
require tweaking the wxWidgets source to get this to work for wxEuphoria.
I'll see if I can do this and get a release out today or [probably] tomorrow.
I'm guessing that you're working from Windows, correct?

Thanks for looking into this.
I am indeed working from Windows (XP Home sp2)
