LUA Windows Function. ShowCursor

**danward79** · May 31st, 2005, 03:18 PM

Hi All,

I have been doing some G3.3 to G4 conversion, unfortunately I have hit a snag.

I want to use some lua to hide the mouse cursor, I used to do this in G3.3, however, it does not seem to work in G4.

I have the following code,

Code:

function ShowCursor &#40;val&#41;
Result = win.ShowCursor&#40;val&#41;
print &#40;Result&#41;
end;

ShowCursor &#40;1&#41;

So by setting ShowCursor to 1 should show the cursor and 0 should hide the cursor.

What am I doing wrong? or am I not doing anything wrong.

This is a direct conversion from lua 4 and g3.3

Any help would be appreciated. :P

have you read this:

i don't know how closely this relates to the lua function though

Hi

Yeah I read that it made no sense to me! I tried various counts and it is still the same...

have you tried calling with true and false rather than 0 or 1?

LOL! I just asked him the same question on MSN.

Didn't work BTW

The implementation is unchanged from g3.3 to 4. Wonder what is up?

Mike, Does that mean my code should work?

not a solution but you could just move the cursor off the bottom right of the screen instead

Thanks Birty, I do that aswell. I like to be doubly sure!

I can't get it to work either...

Not sure what is going on
