Yeah I played with that but I just couldn't get it to work correctly (I'm
sure it's just me). I don't know how to use it correctly and I have no
documentation showing an example. I'd be more then happy if someone could
show me an example of it's use with this code.

One more question, is there a way to use PtInRect so that it only returns
true if the point is inside the rect? The PtInRect returns true if the point
is to the left or above the rect as well as inside of it.

Here is the revised code...

case WM_PAINT:
   {
   GetClientRect(hwnd,&ta);
   ta.left += 100;
   ta.top += 100;
   ta.right -= 100;
   ta.bottom -= 100;
   HDC hdc = BeginPaint(hwnd,&paint_struct);
   SelectObject(hdc,GetStockObject(HOLLOW_BRUSH)); // Select a hollow brush
   Rectangle(hdc,ta.left,ta.top,ta.right,ta.bottom);
   ReleaseDC(hwnd,hdc);
   } break;
  case WM_MOUSEMOVE:
   {
   GetCursorPos(&loc);
   MapWindowPoints(HWND_DESKTOP,hwnd,&loc,2);
   if (PtInRect(&ta,loc)) SetCursor(cross);
   else SetCursor(arrow);
   ShowCursor(TRUE);
   } break;
