Hide_Cursor

You can use the Hide_Cursor procedure to hide the cursor if it is visible on the screen. The Hide_Cursor procedure is functionally the same as the HideCursor procedure described in the preceding section.

PROCEDURE Hide_Cursor;

DESCRIPTION

The Hide_Cursor procedure calls the HideCursor procedure to remove the cursor's image from the screen and decrements the cursor level by 1. Every call to Hide_Cursor should be balanced by a subsequent call to the Show_Cursor procedure, which is described on page 8-28. Before using Hide_Cursor, you must use the InitCursorCtl procedure, which is described on page 8-20.
