title: Is the hotspot of the WPF Cross cursor in the middle of the crosshair?
body: <p>I'm having amazing difficulties with a high-precision pixel-oriented image program in WPF and starting to suspect that the <code>Cursors.Cross</code> cursor hotspot is not at its centre, as you would expect.</p>
  <p>I'm debugging using <a href="https://www.microsoft.com/enable/training/windowsvista/magnifier.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Magnifier</a> at 16x and mouse set to the lowest acceleration. The code is based on <a href="https://www.codeproject.com/KB/WPF/WPF_DrawTools.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">DrawTools from CodeProject</a>.</p>
  <p><img src="https://www.aussiedesignedsoftware.com/img/WPFCrossCursorHotspotOffset.png" alt="image captured from Magnifier" /></p>
  <p>Is this the same cursor as you get in Winforms? If so, I can look at that cursor's hotspot - the <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.input.cursor.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Cursor</a> class in System.Windows.Input doesn't have the HotSpot property.</p>
  <p>UPDATE</p>
  <p>In case anyone is looking for a workaround, in my case I already have a delegate being invoked to filter the points so I can implement snap-to-grid behaviour. It was trivial to offset the point by 1 to compensate. This was a lot easier than creating a custom cursor and has the advantage that I'm still using the stock cursor if its appearance should change.</p>
