SetRawMouseVisible(0) , dont work on windows 10, also tried it in fullscreen , same result.

Only tested on windows 10.

Works perfect on mac.

FYI:
SetRawMousePosition has a 3 sync update time on win10, before you can read the mouse position again, but 18 on mac really slow.

Works here on Windows 10 Home. If the app is in a window the cursor won't disappear outside the window but it does disappear when the cursor enters your window.

I think Mac has some mouse smoothing going on behind the scenes that mean the mouse position takes a while to filter through.

Got it working on my win 10 , but only when i call it 2 times, wierd.

Working code:



Not working code:



Must be some condition in the SetRawMouseVisible function, or another thing that makes SetRawMouseVisible fail the first time i call it ?

I've never been able to get it work, Win7 or Win10 which has been maddening for some of my apps. Using a nVidia GPU if that makes any difference.

Tried the "call it twice" logic and it DID work, but there was a good 1 second delay between the calls and when the mouse pointer disappeared.

I've had problems turning it off and on multiple times and then it stops hiding. Which is why I have a sprite for a pointer and hide the mouse permanently in RTA. I only call it once at the beginning of the code.

When switching between fullscreen and windows mode , sometimes (even calling it 2 times) it still dont work this is what i got now.

SetRawMouseVisible(0)
SetRawMouseVisible(0)
sync()
SetRawMouseVisible(0)
SetRawMouseVisible(0)

And that seems to work all the time ( at least here ) , if at all you got the time to test this i would really appreciate it, hiding the mouse is a must. just download the game , start playing and click "right mouse button" to enter mouse mode , this should hide the mouse , right click again to get the mouse back , try switching to fullscreen ( fullscreen icon in the top right corner ) and try it again.

Thanks.

Strange, as we simply call the ShowCursor(BOOL) command in the Windows API with no other processing on AGK's part, so I'm not sure why it would behave differently across different machines.

Preben : is your mouse problem a "razer" or an equivalent ?
I know there are some problems with razer mouse in some applications/game (lag...).

no razer.

Paul:
it looks like ShowCursor is a counter , so it could be 4 and you need to call it 4 times , perhaps stuff like errors , exceptions other menu stuff in the window itself will make it count up, like dialog boxes always does and error messages ? so perhaps you need something like this:
while(ShowCursor(FALSE) >= 0);

Well not letting it run forever if it fails somehow , or perhaps just return the return value from ShowCursor to agk SetRawMouseVisible function so we can do it ourself.

Just a hunch as Preben mentiones menu stuff. AppGameKit still have a problem with the ALT-key, which have previously tried to access the window menu. ALT+Space still opens up a menu and holding down ALT makes the program not read the keys and often generates a Windows *bing* noice. Could they be related?
