Contains a group cursor resource type

This unit contains , a TAbstractResource descendant specialized in handling resource of type RT_GROUP_CURSOR.

Adding this unit to a program's uses clause registers class for type RT_GROUP_CURSOR with TResourceFactory.

Group cursor resource type

This class represents a resource of type RT_GROUP_CURSOR.

Resources of this type are strictly related to .cur files: typically a resource compiler creates resources of this type when it is instructed to insert a cursor from a .cur file.

There is although a big difference between .cur files and cursor resources: a .cur file contains a cursor, which is made of several different images (for different sizes and color depth), but while a file of this type is self-contained, when it comes to resources data is scattered over several different resources: an RT_GROUP_CURSOR resource only contains information about the single images, which are contained each in a different resource of type RT_CURSOR. The single resources are pretty unuseful alone, since they only consist of raw image data: they must be accessed in the contest of the RT_GROUP_CURSOR resource, which provides information about them.

provides a way to handle a cursor as if it was a .cur file, via ItemData property. Single cursor resources are automatically created or destroyed as needed.

This class doesn't allow its type to be changed to anything else than RT_GROUP_CURSOR. Attempts to do so result in a EResourceDescChangeNotAllowedException.
