Hide mouse

[Arterie]

I want to hide my mouse because i want to make a little game and the mouse shouldnt be visible.

Maybe i could make it transparent or hide it behind the window.

Maybe..

#Include <Misc.au3>

_MouseTrap (@DesktopWidth,@DesktopHeight,@DesktopWidth,@DesktopHeight)
Sleep(5000)
_MouseTrap ()

_MouseTrap sucks

For example, I can double-click to get out of it. Or ctrl+ESC, Or ctrl+alt+del

Also, when the user alt-tabs away from the game, mouse is still trapped ... bleh

As far as I can understand ShowCursor shows the cursor, but what are

SetCapture ReleaseCapture for?

Can someone explain?

Lets say I just want to hide the cursor for 3 seconds how do I do it? MY window Title is IrfanView?

This does not work:

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 4)     ;1=start, 2=subStr, 3=exact, 4=advanced, -1 to -4=Nocase
Sleep(3000)
$hWnd = WinGetHandle("[CLASS:IrfanView]")
DllCall("user32.dll" , "int" , "ShowCursor","int",False)
DllCall("user32.dll" , "hWnd" , "SetCapture","hWnd",$hWnd)
Sleep(3000)
DllCall("user32.dll" , "int" , "ShowCursor","int",True)
DllCall("user32.dll" , "int" , "ReleaseCapture")
