Hi,

Why do you need to capture the cursor shape? How will the signal for the current cursor image service you?

What are you attempting to do?

It looks like VNC, but viewer can't control the actual PC because more then one user has capable to see that PC at a time.
I am capturing Desktop using XGetImage(), but that captured Desktop image (RGB)don't give the cursor. In my requirement I have to show that cursor. Right now I took normal cursor (arrow) data in RGB, get the cursor coordinates using XQueryPoint(), then i am combined both Desktop and Cursor images. If I follow in this way cursor shape is fix for all windows, but in actual PC cursor is change window to window. Users also required to see what cursor is in that PC.

Please help me for this....
