After searching for some considerable time on developer.apple.com,
I'm unable to locate the Carbon API's for setting a custom
cursor for a window. Deprecated QuickDraw functions, and
Cocoa functions I've found, but not Carbon. Do they exist ?

There is no Carbon API for setting a cursor specifically for a window. The existing Carbon API only supports setting a cursor for an entire process. It's up to you to set the cursor appropriately as the mouse moves into and out of your window; this would usually be done using a mouse tracking region (HIViewNewTrackingArea) or a kEventMouseMoved or kEventWindowCursorChange Carbon event.

There is also currently no undeprecated Carbon API for creating a custom cursor. We plan to add Carbon API for this task in Leopard. Until then, we recommend using either the deprecated Quickdraw API, or NSCursor.
