I made sure that the message was eaten as opposed to the default (Post Process). Then I set the DragIcon property of the picture boxes to the icon I wanted to used as a cursor. I then made sure the picture box's visible property was set to false. Next, just to make it easier to tell which is which, I set the picture property of the picture box to my icon. Then is was just a matter of catching the WM_SETCURSOR and doing a SetCursor API call. Check the Message event for details."
