Attribute node for cursor display?

I have an XY graph and I would like to programatically show or not show the
cursor display. I've been looking for something like the "Palette Visible"
attribute node, but there is no "Cursor Display Visible" even though that
is an option in the pop-up menu. Does something like this exist?

Thanks,

The cursor display is actually an array control. Carefully popup on the
border of the display, and you will get an array popup menu rather than
the graph menu. With this, you can create an attribute node, and use
any and all of the attributes, like visible.

Ok, that got rid of most of the cursor display control, but the cursor movement
control (the control with 4 diamonds) doesn't go away. No matter where I
click on the diamond control, I get the pop-up for the chart. When I uncheck
the cursor display in the chart pop-up, the diamond control disappears like
I want it too, but when I programmatically hide the cursor display using
the "visible" member of the cursor display attribute node, the diamond control
stays.

Am I missing something?
(btw, I'm running LV 5.1 on NT4.0)

Thanks!
