 Is it possible to subclass the mouse pointer? Is it possible to subclass te mouse pointer to stay on top of all windows? I
know this sounds strange but I have an application which lets you view
fullscreen video. Is there anyway I can decide when to view the mouse
pointer like the old Windows media player let you do in fullscreen mode?
Thanks,
Gary

Dear Gary:
You can always "cheat" and move the mouse point to the
extreme bottom-right of the screen, using an API
call (SetCursorPos, IIRC). Then, periodically, in a
timer event, you can
see if the pointer's been moved and move it back out of
the way until you do the magic keypress or whatever.
Regards,
Joe

Is it possible to subclass the mouse pointer? That would be a good addition to what I want to do. What I need to do is
make the mouse visible as it is now not visible while in fullscreen video.
Thanks much,
Gary

hidden, if you pass True, the cursor will be shown. If you call ShowCursor
(False) twice, you also have to call ShowCursor (True) twice until the cursor
will be visible.

Is it possible to subclass the mouse pointer? I did try the showcursor function but it will not display the cursor while
in fullscreen video mode.
Thanks for your help.

I can still show and hide the mouse cursor.
