MouseBlanker (Sys:Tools/Commodities/MouseBlanker) isn`t what you want?

@daxb: sounds good, yes. I've trying to make it work for my purposes, but it shows the mouse cursor AGAIN when I move it.
It should accept some parameters (MOUSEBLANKER [CX_PRIORITY <priority>] [SECONDS <secs>] [DELTAMOUSE <pixels>] [DONOTWAIT]), but it doesn't work or I don't know how to use it the way I want: I need the mouse to vanish FOREVER until I reboot the computer, so I try to set a high DELTAMOUSE value, but that value is ignored, or it says that number of params is incorrect. Can you guys help with an example here? [EDIT] I don't know if the OS 3.X version of mouseblanker accepts so many parameters, maybe they're only for the OS 4.X version. |

Create a blank pointer preset using SYS:Prefs/Pointer then load it in from Shell with the USE argument when you need it.
Or with MouseBlanker I think you can set DELTAMOUSE to a very high value (greater than your screen resolution) so that it has to move an impossible number of pixels to reappear. |

Matt_H: Can you please try mousebanker on WB 3.X and tell me if it accepts DELTAMOUSE parameter? I can't make it accept the parameter...

WB 3.x mouseblanker does not accept any argument except CX_POPUP.
The attached one could work. It has a few drawbacks, though: - it allocates memory which is never freed, so you should call it only once - it only works while the current window stays active. As soon as the window loses focus, the default pointer will be shown again - it stops working when the program owning the window changes the pointer (but that's the case for the old version, too). |
