[RESOLVED] [2005] Hide the mouse cursor in a full-screen console-mode app

I'm making a full-screen console-mode app. Since it is entirely text-based and needs no mouse interaction, I thought it'd be nice to not display the ugly blocky mouse cursor. It seems that all consoles in .net display this cursor when made full screen. I know it possible to disable the cursor because non-.net apps, such as cmd.exe hide the cursor.

I don't mind using the API to do this but I've already played around with ShowCursor. It doesn't appear to do anything at all in console-mode apps, even when they're windowed.

What I did to overcome this problem was to clip the mouse cursor to 0,0 and reverse the colors of that particular character. less than ideal, but it works.

Hi,

I think you can use:

vb Code:

Cursor.Hide()

That doesn't seem to work either. Thanks, though. I did notice the Clip property of the Cursor class, though. That let me eliminate the API call I was using instead.
