Hey Lazlo,

I can't get your scripts to work properly. They work the first time round, but thats it. For instance, change the beginning of your latest script to:

Here, the cursor disappears for the first INVISIBLE CURSOR msgbox, reappears for the first VISIBLE AGAIN msgbox, but then stays visible for the next two msgboxes.

Can you confirm that on your system the cursor disappears both times?

Thanks,

Ant.

[p.s. Great work both of you, by the way!]

You are right, it only worked once:I updated the last script, to make first a copy of the cursor and let that be destroyed. Also, we need enough room for the copy, but I don't know for sure, how much. I assume 32*32 words, 32*32*4 = 4096 bytes, plus change. (For some reason CopyCursor did not work, so I used CopyImage, as Shimanov.)

This is such a great script that its long overdue to be included in the documentation. I've added it to the DllCall page and also mentioned it on the MouseMove page.

Thanks to both of you.

can you tell me please if I can change the appearance of I-Beam cursor when it is over a specific control?

and what are the available appearances

I want to do this because I-Beam hides characters when I type sometimes..

thanks

Sorry guys,
How can I write a script to toggle between cursor to hourglass?
