Nice find, Sean. I must have missed that back when I was looking through the new-in-10.6 docs. ☺ Oooh! Nice find, Sean.

here’s a snippet:

NSInteger cid = CGSMainConnectionID();
CGPoint outHotSpot;
CGImageRef image = CGSCreateRegisteredCursorImage(cid, “com.apple.coregraphics.GlobalCurrent”, &outHotSpot);
NSSize imageSize = NSMakeSize(CGImageGetWidth(image),CGImageGetHeight(image));
NSImage* nsImage = [[NSImage alloc] initWithCGImage:image size:imageSize];

[imageView setImage: nsImage];

[nsImage release];
[(NSObject*)image release];

That’s how the screencapture command line tool does it and it’s pretty straight forward :-)
