Mouse Cursor Problem

[narciso]

Is there any chance of hiding the mouse cursor, I mean making it invisible?

Move it to the bottom right of your screen, works for me

Yeah, thought about it too. Just hoped there is something more elegant

Use

MouseMove (2000, 2000, 10000)

the mouse will "disappear" cause of the speed(10000)

Use

MouseMove (2000, 2000, 10000)

the mouse will "disappear" cause of the speed(10000)

From the help file under MouseMove, Speed:

[optional] the speed to move the mouse in the range 1 (fastest) to 100 (slowest). A speed of 0 will move the mouse instantly. Default speed is 10.

If you exceed 100, the function reverts to the default of 10.

You have hit it just right herewasplato. I did it your way! Still wonder if there is something more elegant like nice disappearing of the cursor. Come to think of it, how do you change the image of the mouse cursor?

If it's for your GUI only then use GUISetCursor(16)

Oh, nice to know that. And what about something more ambitious like changing it globally, i.e. independently of my GUI. POssible or not?

Didn't read the help file then

mousemove(2000,2000,1)

splashimageon()

or maximized window

...Still wonder if there is something more elegant like nice disappearing of the cursor...

I'm sure that there is. I just don't know how to do it. Apps like MS Word can hide the "mouse cursor" while typing, so it can be done.

Maybe some of the DLL gurus can UDF this for you.

Look at Cursor functions at MSDN

Also look at my similar post about cursors

Here is sample code for ShowCursor API but it's working only for your application:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("My GUI")
GUISetState (@SW_SHOW)

Sleep(3000)
$ret = DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "ShowCursor", "int", 0)
;~ ConsoleWrite($ret[0] & @CRLF)
Sleep(3000)
$ret = DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "ShowCursor", "int", 1)
;~ ConsoleWrite($ret[0] & @CRLF)

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
Wend

Oh, nice indeed. I actually need to change the system cursor, i.e. globally. Your link is very interesting. Changing the cursor into hourglass but I could not get back into normal using your script I am dumb or your code has a flaw or both

Thanks anyway. I will try to analyze it and question you on it later probably.

also look at AU3LIB their is something about changing the cursor...

mmm... save a blank cursor file, then use autoit to set that as the cursor, whala, no cursor! lol
