cursor color?

[t0ddie]

can you set the cursor so that its black? or set it as transparent so you cant see it? can you set it to an icon? and if so can it be returned to the users default at script close?

im trying to hide the screen, AND the cursor .

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
$curse = GUICreate("My GUI", @DesktopWidth, @DesktopHeight, 0, 0, $WS_POPUP,$WS_EX_TOPMOST)
GUICtrlSetcursor($curse,7)
GUISetBkColor (0x000000)
GUISetState ()
sleep(2500)

this isnt working.

i also tried to make a button, and disable it, but not working either.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
$curse = GUICreate("My GUI", @DesktopWidth, @DesktopHeight, 0, 0, $WS_POPUP,$WS_EX_TOPMOST)
$dis = GUICtrlCreateButton("",@DesktopWidth, @DesktopHeight, 0, 0)
GUICtrlSetState($dis,$GUI_DISABLE)
GUISetBkColor (0x000000)
GUISetState ()
sleep(2500)

hmmm, it says only valid cursor id.. so you cant make your own? i dont see how to change the color, or make a custom icon for the cursor. only how to change the style of the cursor in the help file.

and i dont know why 7 (no) isnt working. i tried 0 as well

0 = UNKNOWN (this includes pointing and grabbing hand icons)

1 = APPSTARTING

2 = ARROW

3 = CROSS

4 = HELP

5 = IBEAM

6 = ICON

7 = NO

8 = SIZE

9 = SIZEALL

10 = SIZENESW

11 = SIZENS

12 = SIZENWSE

13 = SIZEWE

14 = UPARROW

15 = WAIT

still tryin to figure this out

Why not to set cursor outside visible Desktop area:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
$curse = GUICreate("My GUI", @DesktopWidth, @DesktopHeight, 0, 0, $WS_POPUP,$WS_EX_TOPMOST)
MouseMove(@DesktopWidth + 100, 0, 0)
GUISetBkColor (0x000000)
GUISetState ()
sleep(2500)

that works, but if you move the mouse back you see it again.

any other way?
