showcursor user32 api function

[shaunmcd]

I've recently used a win32 API function call to the showcursor function in visual basic. When I ran it in the development environment, it worked great, however when I compiled into an .exe, the cursor was always showing. What did I do wrong? I tried compiling into p-code AND using the packaging wizard to make a setup for it. Neither of these worked. Please help!

I have a similar problem. The difference is I can't make the cursor disappear until the project is compiled.

I think I've discovered the problem. The form I was running was set to hide. Basicly I wanted to get rid of the cursor for all of windows, and apperantly the api call is only for the application that calls it. When I set the form to show, the cursor was invisible in the boundries of the form, but when the mouse went outside the boundries, the cursor showed up again. Does anyone have any idea of how to get rid of the cursor for good, throughout all of windows or specificly in Internet Explorer?
