SUMMARY
The professional version of Visual FoxPro includes a utility that allows
you to create custom icon, bitmap, and cursor files. This utility is not
shipped with the standard version of Visual FoxPro.
MORE INFORMATION
The utility (IMAGEDIT.EXE) is installed in the VFP\IMAGEDIT directory. You
can start the utility by choosing the IMAGEDIT icon from the Visual FoxPro
group or by typing RUN /N IMAGEDIT in the Command window.
Usually, cursors are created as black and white files, 32 x 32 pixels. The
size of the file may vary based on your display device and installed
Windows version.
You must use a black and white image for a drag and drop cursor.
If you want to create cursors or icons for different screen resolutions,
you must edit the IMAGEDIT.INI file. For instructions on editing this file,
refer to the Imagedit Help menu. The images for different resolutions are
contained in a single file. The underlying operating system chooses the
appropriate image based on the video system installed on the target system.
