I can confirm that this does not work the way one would expect it to. I think its a bug I tested on a Windows 10 PC.

It might be worthwhile to use a sprite instead of the mouse pointer? I mean, Hide it at the beginning, then use a sprite at MouseX, MouseY to represent the pointer.

Thanks for your quick feedback !

With a sprite, it is a great way to go, but i want to make a "Window software" not a game... I need to get the window mouse cursor.

cheers.

I tried it on Windows 10 and it seemed to work, except there was a delay of several seconds before the request to hide or show the mouse took effect. Unfortunately I don't think there is anything we can do, it may be that the show/hide mouse feature of Windows was not designed to handle frequent showing and hiding of the mouse.

i think the problem begings if you make the mouse visible if she is already visible

Windows is probably queuing the show/hide requests, which is what's causing the issues. It has to process hundreds/thousands of requests until it gets to the one which actually does something.
Signature removed by mod because it's larger than 600x120... please resize and try again.
