is possible to place a cursor below gui

[nuevito4]

Hi. is possible to place a cursor below gui

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
GUICreate("test", 220, 120, -1, -1)
WinSetOnTop("test", "", 1)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
Sleep(2000)

No cursor always has top most attribute.

I didn't find anything in autoit but I did find nomousy from autohotkey so I am sure it can be done. I figured out that while watching a video in windows media player the mouse disapears so it is possible, don't know how in autoit though.

; Method 1: Hides the cursor in client area
; Uncomment following line for example
; GUISetCursor(16, 1)

; Method 2: Hides cursor for entire window (even the titlebar)
; Uncomment following line for example
; DllCall('user32.dll', 'int', 'ShowCursor', 'int', 0)

You mean something like this:

thanks for responding. The idea is to put an animation with AutoIt and replace the cursor.

utilis part of the script of "flyufo"

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

#include <GDIPlus.au3>

Have a look to _WinAPI_SetSystemCursor() function from WinAPIEx.au3!

You have to convert the animated GIF to an ani format.

I tested it with an existing .ani file and it is working properly.
