SYMPTOMS
When you use the Image Editor to edit a .cur file located in the
\Vfp\Samples\Graphics\Cursors directory, it opens up the .cur file in "VGA-
Color 16 Color 32x32" mode by default. If the file is saved in the VGA
Color mode, it cannot be used in the DragIcon property of the form builder.
The .cur file has to be saved in "VGA-Mono 2 Color 32x32" mode. The error
"Cursor is corrupt or in wrong format" occurs if the .cur file is in VGA
Color mode.
WORKAROUND
The only way to save it back to a Mono 2 Color mode is to copy the file to
the clipboard. Then on the File menu, click New, and paste it back in. Save
the untitled file as the same name of the .cur that was saved in VGA Color
mode. Once Image Editor saves it this way in Mono 2 Color mode, it can be
opened back up by Image Editor in Mono 2 Color mode instead of VGA Color
mode from then on.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
