Hiding Mouse Pointer

[Guest]

Does somebody knows how to avoid the mouse pointer to be displayed when no mouse is attached to the system?. I can select a no mouse scheme and when my application is running is ok; but when windows Xp Embedded SP1 is botting and/or loading user preferences shows a mouse pointer even the mouse is no present.

Thanks

This has been asked and answered a few times in the past.

This is what I do:

// move cursor off the screen
SetCursorPos(2000, 2000);

I resolved the problem previously within my application; but my problem is when windows xp is still loading; at that time my application is not running yet and I think I can not do that ( or maybe I do not know), once my application has automaticaly launched I can control that

any help or tip?. I have searched in previous post in this newsgroup but no luck

Thanks

What about if you have a touch screen and you don't want to show the cursor
on the screen when someone touches it? Is there an easy way to make the
cursor invisible?

Thanks.

I think in that case you could use a non cursor scheme; I think that could be solved easy, actually I tried that!. The thing is in the process of loading the system and then loading the "automatic user" and preferences; windows shows some dialogs like the welcome and other stuff and the mouse pointer is there!; when the non cursor is finaly loaded the cursor is not show anymore becase the non cursor scheme is in use

in Win2K if the mouse is not attached the pointer is not shown at all; I would like to mimic that behavio

Hi,
In this particular situation, you can set all your mouse pointers settings
to "null.cur"
which is a specific invisible cursor. You can find this file in most
touchscreen drivers for example.

Isn't the mouse pointer shown when windows is starting using the null.cur in your system?. In my case using an invisible mouse is ok when the user setting has been loaded; but just before this happens the mouse is shown

Sorry for asking this again; buy i would like to remove the mouse pointer at all
