PTRDATA Vs 1.00
The Intuition function SetPointer() allows you to attach a custom pointer
to a window by specifing the Window, Sprite, height, width, xoffset and
yoffset.
The Preferences program allows you to design your custom pointers but it
saves them as a preferences structure in the devs: directory as a file
system-configuration.
This program will read the system-configuration file and then generate
the C data needed to use the SetPointer function.
USAGE
ptrdata devs:system-configuration outfile
'devs:system-configuration' is a file name of any preferences file built
by the WorkBench Preferences program.
'outfile' is the new file that ptrdata will create containing the C
data. Note that if outfile exists it will be replaced.
To use the pointer in your C program merge the file 'outfile' with your
source and then after opening your window call:
SetPointer(MyWindow,ptrdata,PTR_HEIGHT,PTR_WIDTH,PTR_XOFFSET,PTR_YOFFSET);
You can return to the default pointer with:
ClearPointer(MyWindow);
