I’m trying to find a way to hide the mouse curser at some point during my application and making it re-appear when the mouse is moved by the user.

before trying goto the Max4xTuturialsandtopics.pdf and find the topic: messages to Max. (;pupdate)

this let you send the global position of cursor.

2 - when the "mouse" is in the "red zone"; or when the "time" as gone... i don't know... you send this message: ;pupdate x y

2a - before sending the mouse out screen, save is position on a int... ou two (x y)

x is the total horizontal screen size and y the vertical.

3 - when the mouse moves, send the same mesage but with the x y saved in the INT.

“;max hidecursor” and “;max showcursor” seem to be the right way to go. The only problem is that at some point during my application “;max hidecursor” stops hiding the mouse!

I can manually click on a message box with “;max hidecursor” and nothing happens. To get it to work again I need to close max and re-launch.

The application is quite big and complex so I can’t post it here.
