' Create a 32x32 color cursor shaped somewhat like a yin-yang symbol.
' (The bit masks come from Microsoft's documentation on the API cursors function, just to
' give them their due credit.) Note how the masks are loaded into the arrays. The new
' cursor is then set to be the cursor for 10 seconds.
Dim hnewcursor As Long ' newly created cursor
Dim holdcursor As Long ' receives handle of default cursor
Dim andbuffer As String, xorbuffer As String ' buffers for masks
Dim andbits(0 To 127) As Byte ' stores the AND mask

' Unfortunately, VB does not provide a nice way to load lots of information into an array.
' To load the AND and XOR masks, we put the raw hex values into the string buffers
' and use a loop to convert the hex values into numeric values and load them into
' the elements of the array. Yes, it's ugly, but there's no better way. Note the
' use of the line-continuation character here. Each sequence of eight hex
' characters represents one line in the 32x32 cursor.
