Hide and Show Mouse

[dcboy]

Is there a way that I can hide and show the mouse?

I tried to set:
this.IsMouseInBrume = false;

but I get an error that says it's a method group??

Thanks for the help,
Dan

Hi dcboy !

In fact, IsMouseInBrume is a metho so you can't assign it :

Code: Select all

public bool IsMouseInBrume()


The method returns true if mouse cursor is located inside the Brume window.

What you want to do must be done with the Windows Forms api.
Just try something like that :

Code: Select all

using System.Windows.Forms;
...
...
Cursor.Hide();


This works for me.

ok, it works, thanks...

and...

brume = the best!

My computer needs more than 5 seconds for hiding or showing the cursor.

The game continues and after some seconds the cursor disappears (when cursor.hide called). strange

Is there a way to hide cursor faster?

Same here but I used the WinAPI for hiding and showing. Didn't know the Cursor.Hide() function.
Maybe the IsMouseInBrume doesn't work as expected?

Can you give me your OS ?
This may be the problem.

And have you tried that :

Code: Select all

  public Test()
    {
        this.MouseEnter += new System.EventHandler(this.event_MouseEnter);
        this.MouseLeave += new System.EventHandler(this.event_MouseLeave);
    }

    private void event_MouseEnter(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    {
        System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Hide();
    }

    private void event_MouseLeave(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    {
        System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Show();
    }
