Image Cursor

Hi,

I am not sure if i am posting in the right forum, kindly direct me to the
correct one if i make a mistake.

I am coding in C programming compiled in vs.net 2005. I wanna write a
program such that it constantly detect the cursor position by using
"GetCursorPos" function. If the cursor is moving upwards, it should display a
"compass pointing to north" image. If the cursor is moving left, it should
display "compass pointing to west" image and so on. . .

I have search through the web and unable to find much examples in C. I
managed to find a link
http://www.codeproject.com/bitmap/ColorCursorFromBmp.asp which has some
information in C++ instead, however, through the demo i realised the image
cursor only appear when the cursor lies within the application. How can i
enable the image to remain throughout when the cursor move from one corner of
the desktop to the other?

Will be glad if anyone can direct me to any link with more information on
how i can set an image to the cursor in C. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks alot

.
