CEGUI (Crazy Eddie's GUI) Forums

Hello folks,

in my layout I have a full screen default window as root that I don't want any cursor to be shown in, however I don't want to define a cursor (MouseCursorImage property) for every single subwindow.
If the mouse cursor would get inherited from parent window I'd just wrap all windows showing a cursor by another window widget only specifying it once, sadly this doesn't work and default cursor gets applied.
So I thought of unsetting the default cursor for the default window, but sadly I only can specify a new cursor or it would fall back to the default one.

Another idea I had was to set the size of the default window to zero, but it's children have to keep in scale with screen size and it didn't seem to work anyway, default cursor kept being applied.

I found a workaround though and simply defined a 0x0 pixel cursor image in my imageset to use. That works well, but I still wonder if it would be possible to actually unset the cursor (without of complicate event handling + hide()/show()).
If not, maybe consider it for a future release.

thanks

Edit: topic solved, thanks

Your thread does not contain sufficient information and/or does not follow the forum guidelines. Please edit your post to suit the mentioned requirements so we can help you, thanks!

Besides that I don't understand why you can't set a fake 0x0 cursor for the root default window and then use the default in the windows inside it?

That's exactly what I did and I said it works fine just wondered if there's a way to say not to show any cursor instead of a faked/invisible one.
Thanks anyway and sorry for not posting the log, though I understand you put it as a guidline, it's not of much use here. But here you go:

System specs don't help here either, but I'm running preinstalled bad old vista on a 2GHz dual core laptop. And I do not encounter any errors, warnings or exceptions, all runs fine and pretty stable. Well, I get some boost related warnings when compiling with ogre, but that's a known C++0x issue and doesn't cause any problems.

I'm happy with how cegui works and very thankful for all your hard work on it, and I'm searching forum and reading documentation carefully but often it's easy to oversee the obvious, that's why I asked.

cheers

The correct and intended way is simply:


There is, however, no way to do this via the property interface right at the moment.

HTH

CE.

The main reason for the log in this case is to get the correct CEGUI version

someWindow->setMouseCursor(CEGUI::BlankMouseCursor);

Thanks alot, works perfectly within my toLua++ script.
