Invincible window

[TiPeRa]

I don't know if I am going about this the correct way but…

I am using an API call to hide the mouse cursor but it only works over the windows of your program. I want to make it work everywhere. My thoughts are that this could be done by maximising the form but making it invicible. One problem, I don't know how to do this.

Are they any other methods that could be use?

Thanks

Try the ShowCursor function.

Private Declare Function ShowCursor Lib "user32" (ByVal bShow As Long) As Long

Private Sub Form_Load()
    ShowCursor False
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
    ShowCursor True
End Sub

That is what I am already using. It works everywhere when run through Visual Basic but only works over the windows of your program when it is run from the compiled code.

What about setting Scree.MousePointer = 99, then set the MouseIcon to a null or blank cursor?

When compiled that only works over your programs windows.
