    Something like this:
    VB Code:
    1. Private Declare Function ShowCursor& Lib "user32" (ByVal bShow As Long)

    2.  
    3. Private Sub Form_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)

    4.  
    5. ShowCursor True

    6.  
    7. End Sub

    8.  
    9.  
    10. Private Sub Picture1_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)

    11.  
    12. ShowCursor False

    13.  
    14. End Sub
    It's not especially reliable like that though, so you may want to look at the TrackMouseEvent API to detect when the cursor moves off the control. See this for more info on that http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.p...267#post513734
