Hiding and Showing Cursors

You can remove the cursor image from the screen by using either the HideCursor or Hide_Cursor procedure. You can hide the cursor temporarily by using the ObscureCursor procedure, or you can hide the cursor in a given rectangle by using the ShieldCursor procedure. Your application should hide the cursor when the user is typing, for example. To display a cursor hidden by the HideCursor, Hide_Cursor, or ObscureCursor procedure, use the ShowCursor or Show_Cursor procedure. (When you use ObscureCursor to hide the cursor, the cursor is redisplayed automatically the next time the user moves the mouse.)
