Continuing on trying to update an old VB6 app using VB6 on a Windows 10 computer.
During my modifications where I am allowing the user to set the picturebox background from white to black, I noticed that my custom mouse cursors do not show up.
I quickly realize that this is because they were originally created as black images, so while they show on a white background they won't on a black background.
Therefore, I need to add some new custom mouse cursors that are white for when the background is black.
In trying to remember how I created those darn custom mouse cursors to begin with (its been so so so many years ago), I found that my custom cursors exist in a resource file (somewhere) because of code like this:
frmChart.pctChart.MousePointer = vbCustom
frmChart.pctChart.MouseIcon = LoadResPicture(114, vbResCursor)
Searching on the net, I found that I need to run the Resource Editor found under the Add-Ins.
Unfortunately, I do not see anything listed for that as shown in the image below.

I ran VB6 as administrator just in case but no difference.
Any suggestions? thx
