    You can set a custom cursor by passing a .cur file to the cursor property of a form or control:

    Me.Cursor = New Cursor("C:\Windows\Cursors\hns.cur")

    Note that it only accepts cursor files (.cur), whereas VB 6 allowed you to use an icon (.ico) file as well.

    As far as creating your own .cur files, I don't have a clue.

    No, Visual Basic 2005 is much better suited for this. If you search the internet for ".cur file" you will find several shareware apps that allow you to create your own custom cursors.

    would visual basic 6 be more suitable for game programming
