How do you hide the mouse and make it stay hidden so that you don't have to wiggle the mouse to make it hide again!

I know that "hide mouse" hides the mouse. But when you start up the program, the mouse icon is still there until you wiggle your mouse a little. Can't it just disappear instantly?

the DB mouse and yeah, i get the same problem sometimes. I guess you just have to position the "hide mouse" command in a certain place in your program.

put the Hide Mouse command right at the start of your program, make it one of the first commands you have, ie:



ANd if you still get the same problem, try doing this:



That just puts the mouse in the bottom right corner (where it's completely invisible) so you can't see it...

Hope I Helped...
