Microsoft Platform Software Development Kit-January 2000 Edition, when used with:
- Microsoft Windows 95
- Microsoft Windows 2000 Standard Edition

This article was previously published under Q131280

SYMPTOMS

LoadCursor() returns NULL when passed IDC_SIZE or IDC_ICON for a second parameter.

CAUSE

IDC_SIZE and IDC_ICON are obsolete. They are available only for backward compatibility. Applications marked as a version 4.0 application are not able to load these cursors under Windows 95 or Windows 2000.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
