Standard cursors ressources

[eddineimad0]

I saw that definitions for IDC constants is skipped in the window_and_messaging.zig

   // skipped 'IDC_IBEAM'
  // skipped 'IDC_WAIT'
  // skipped 'IDC_CROSS'
  // skipped 'IDC_UPARROW'
  // skipped 'IDC_SIZE'
  // skipped 'IDC_ICON'
  // skipped 'IDC_SIZENWSE'
  // skipped 'IDC_SIZENESW'
  // skipped 'IDC_SIZEWE'
  // skipped 'IDC_SIZENS'
  // skipped 'IDC_SIZEALL'
  // skipped 'IDC_NO'
  // skipped 'IDC_HAND'
  // skipped 'IDC_APPSTARTING'
  // skipped 'IDC_HELP'
  // skipped 'IDC_PIN'
  // skipped 'IDC_PERSON'

i'm guessing that the cause of this is pointer alignment but anyway is there any alternative to these constants in the zigwin32 library?

For anyone looking at this in the future. You can add the following to your own files and it would be a local work around. The key for the fix here is the align(1) for the u16 strings.

const std = @import("std");
const win32 = @import("win32");
const typedConst = win32.zig.typedConst;
const HCURSOR = win32.ui.windows_and_messaging.HCursor;
const HINSTANCE = win32.foundation.HINSTANCE;

pub extern "user32" fn LoadCursorW(
    hInstance: ?HINSTANCE,
    lpCursorName: ?[*:0]align(1) const u16,
) callconv(std.os.windows.WINAPI) ?HCURSOR;

pub const IDC_HAND = typedConst([*:0]align(1) const u16, @as(u32, 32649))
// ... repeat for the rest of the missing constants
// reference the MS docs for their values: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/menurc/about-cursors
