A new copy of the pointer is created each time this function is called. The pointer created by this function can be destroyed using the WinDestroyPointer function. To get one of the standard system pointers, use the WinQuerySysPointer function.

The pointer is owned by the process from which this function is issued. It cannot be accessed directly from any other process. If it still exists when the process terminates, it is automatically deleted by the system.
