I've been working on my mouse code recently, and I've found a hitch while working with exclusive control. I have a simple test app using Direct3D, but whenever I operate in full screen and give the mouse exclusive/foreground control, I can't see the windows cursor. I have a font object outputting the co-ordinates of the mouse, so the mouse is being moved as normal, I just don't have a cursor. Is this what's actually meant to happen? So far the work-around that I'm using is actually having a sprite/texture object and keeping it at the point where the cursor should be, but it is slightly laggy.

I don't want the windows cursor, I was just wondering why it wasn't there and the best way to work around it. Anyways, I've written all my events and I don't want them to go to waste.

If its the kind of app where you want the windows mouse then why don't you just use the standard VB mouse events?

Yeah, that's what I thought, thanks.

I am pretty sure that is by design, if a program has exclusive control of the mouse then it doesn't show the windows mouse. It should be easy enough to draw a cursor if you want to display the mouse.
