How are you doing it in Windows 2000? Are you making a system call to shut off the cursors?

There is a palette of cursor manipulation (Application Control -> Cursor or just do a palette search for "Cursor"). These VIs let you set the cursors, but I don't see an easy way to turn it off. A work-around might be to have a blank cursor in a cursor file and change the cursor to that. It will still have a click response (hot spot), so it does not keep the user from using the cursor, just seeing it.

Hi,

Take look at this example:

Confining Mouse Cursor to Front Panel of VI

This does not hides the cursor, however you can limit it's movement to the bottom corner of the screen and the user won't be able to use the mouse at all.

I hope this helps.

Use G Toolbox / Show Cursor.vi, you can show or hide a window cursor.
