MHIDE()
Hide the mouse pointer
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
MHIDE() --> NIL
Returns
MHIDE() always returns NIL.
Description
MHIDE() hides the mouse pointer. This function should be used together
with MSHOW() when updating the screen. It is important to hide the
mouse pointer before changing the screen display and then show it again
after the change.
Note: The MSETCURSOR() function should be used in place of MSHOW()
and MHIDE(). It is kept here for compatibility.
Examples
. This example uses the mouse pointer:
MHIDE()
@ 10, 20 say "Hi there, folks!!!"
MSHOW()
. You can automate calls to MHIDE()/MSHOW() by modifying parts
of your header files (*.ch). For example:
#command @ <row>, <col> SAY <xpr>;[PICTURE <pic>];
[COLOR <color>];
=> DEVPOS(<row>, <col>);
DEVOUTPict(<xpr>, <pic> [, <color>])
// Can be changed to
#command @ <row>, <col> SAY <xpr>;
[PICTURE <pic>];
[COLOR <color>];
=> MHIDE();
DEVPOS(<row>, <col>);
DEVOUTPict(<xpr>, <pic> [, <color>]);
MSHOW()
Files Library is LLIBG.LIB, header file is Llibg.ch.
