VB6 invalid property value error-HELP!?

Question

I am making a program in vb6 right now, NOT vb.net or 2008, it's vb6. I am having a problem right now. In my program you can draw. I want it to change the mouse icon to a custom made eraser cursor I made when you click the eraser button. But, when I add the picture to the mouseicon property it gives me this:
Invalid property value!

I saved my image as .cur and it's in black and white, what's wrong?

Answer 3

you have to set property "MousePointer" to "custom" before changing the mouse icon
