Tooltype "HIDEPOINTER" ??

Post by gerograph »

Hello,

just wondering how or if there is a Tooltype "HIDEPOINTER" ? I have presentation which can be switched from Windowmode to fakefullscreenmode via Tooltype. On top of that I want to hide pointer in fakefullscreen and show pointer in windowmode. Just entering a tooltype "HIDEPOINTER" doesn't work ??

- What happens if a program uses HidePointer() ? Can I still switch in on by tooltype/compileoption ?
- If I have buttons, is Pointer shown be default ? Regardless of HidePointer () or tooltype ?

thanx for infos

This seems to be a bug. The HIDEPOINTER tooltype is currently not working in connection with fake full screen mode. It's only working in real full screen mode.

Should be possible.

No, buttons don't have any effect on the behaviour of HidePointer() or the HIDEPOINTER tooltype.

No, if using fakefullscreen I cannot switch mousepointer on or off. I have to use "HidePointer()" command inside the code. This means if I have a presentation which starts in windowmode (no fakefullscreen) tooltype I can see the mouspointer. If I use the same presentation with fakfullscreen tooltype I also see the mousepointer. I cannot find any way to switch mouspointer off, in case I decide to use fakefullscreen. Even if I use -hidepointer compile argument ?

Any ideas for a workaround ?

Um, yeah, this is a bug, just as I said in my last post :)

Yes, use the HidePointer() command instead of the tooltype/argument :)
