[Seed7-users] Feature Request: Hide Pointer

[Zaakari <Za...@pr...>]

Hey Thomas,

I was just wondering if you would be willing to add a couple of functions (or variables) to control whether or not the mouse cursor is visible (rendered) in the program's window.

There are two reasons why I ask for this functionality:

- Custom pointer styles. As it stands, I cannot change the look of the mouse cursor within a Seed 7 program. But if the mouse could be hidden, then I could make a custom graphic and have it move along with the mouse.
- Multiple pointers. In the graphics editor I'm working on, I wish to make a symmetry functionality, such that operations done on the left side of an image are also done on the right side. So I would like to create two pointers to make it clear where the operations will take place in each side of an image. These pointers' movements along the x axis would then be opposite to each other. Having the default pointer visible in this scenario would be rather confusing / annoying.

If you would consider implementing this, I would be grateful.

Thanks,
Zachary
