How do I hide the cursor?

I know this is not the right place, but I think someone here will know this.
I made a DVD that is being used with a touchscreen. When I play the dvd on a mac in the apple dvd player, in fullscreen kiosk mode, I want the cursor to be invisible. I still need the mouse to work to select tracks, but I want the cursor to not be seen.
Thanks,
Dave

if you want the Mac to be used as a Kiosk machine, the Mac will need additional Kiosk management software for the Mac to work properly the way you ask
+I want the cursor to be invisible+
the cursor can not be switched off in Apple DVD Player
However, if a mouse is not plugged in, the cursor will not appear.
+I still need the mouse to work to select tracks+
to use a mouse the cursor will have to be visable for the user to track acros the screen to make selections
the idea of a touch screen is to dispence with the mouse (and keyboard) - the user touches the screen to make selections

How can I hide the cursor?

I want to hide the cursor if the mouse enter some Components or a JFrame.
I tried to find methods to solve my problem, but I failed.
Someone can tall me how to do? Thanks.

One way to do this is to create a custom cursor based on a completely tranparent image. Then when you want to hide the cursor, set the cursor to the transparent one.
==================================================================
* Create a 'hidden' cursor by using a transparent image
* @return the invisible cursor
Cursor createInvisibleCursor()
Dimension bestCursorDim = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getBestCursorSize(2, 2);
BufferedImage transparentImage = new BufferedImage(bestCursorDim.width, bestCursorDim.height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB);
Cursor hiddenCursor = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit( ).createCustomCursor(transparentImage,
new Point(1, 1),
"HiddenCursor");
return hiddenCursor;

How do I hide the cursor while typing?

I have it turned on in the Windows mouse settings. It hides in all other programs except Firefox. I have Win7 and Firefox 13.0.1

I have had the same problem despite having Hide Pointer When Typing checked in Mouse Properties. Damn annoying. I thought I finally found a solution with a free utility called "Park Cursor Aside" at http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/parkcursoraside-hide-mouse-cursor-when-typing/.
Works great in Chrome and everywhere else EXCEPT Firefox. How about it Mozilla, are you are giving me another reason to switch over to Chrome? Please fix this. Thank you.

How do you hide the cursor in full screen visualizer?

Using iTunes version 11.0.1 on new macbook pro with retina display. Sure would like to use the visualizer full screen without the annoying cursor remaing on the screen. Thanks in advance.

When I want to change the color of text I highlight it first and it gets this "negative" color highlighting over it to show that it's, well, highlighted.
Trouble is, I can't see how my text looks as I change the colors because it's being obscured by this highlighting effect.
Rather like driving a car with a tent over your windshield.
In Illustrator you can toggle this highlighting off with a command in the View Menu. But I haven't found anything in InDesign's Menu that does the same thing.
So sorry for the newbie question, but can anyone clear this up?
Very cool question, John!
I wouldn't have had the chance to find out that you can do this by opening a new document window with Window > Arrange > New Window, and seeing the effect of the changes applied to the highlighted text in one window, appear in the other window without the obscuring selection highlight. You can even set one window to display in the Preview mode and the other in Normal or Preview.

Hide the cursor when it not move?

how to hide the cursor when it not move?
i know how to creat a hide_cursor,but i want to hide it when the cursor not move and show it when it starts move again
thank you!

Create a javax.swing.Timer that has a 5 second initial
delay, non-repeating. When it fires, it should hide
the cursor (set to a blank cursor or whatever you have
to do). Then on mouse motion events, you show the
cursor and reset the timer.A good idea - is there no mouseNotMoved-event ?
heres my sample-code:import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.image.MemoryImageSource;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.MouseInputAdapter;
public class HiddenCursorListener extends MouseInputAdapter implements ActionListener {
     private static final Cursor HIDDEN_CURSOR =
          Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createCustomCursor(
               Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(new MemoryImageSource(16, 16, new int[16 * 16], 0, 16)),
               new Point(0, 0),
               "HIDDEN_CURSOR");
     private static final Cursor DEFAULT_CURSOR = new Cursor(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR);
     private Timer timer;
     private int timerDelay=1000;
     private Window window;
     public HiddenCursorListener(Window win) {
          window=win;
     public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e){
          startTimer();
     public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) {
          showCursor();
     public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {
          showCursor();
     public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e){
          showCursor();
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
          hideCursor();
     private void hideCursor(){
          if (window.getCursor() != HIDDEN_CURSOR)
               window.setCursor(HIDDEN_CURSOR);
     private void showCursor(){
          if (window.getCursor() != DEFAULT_CURSOR)
               window.setCursor(DEFAULT_CURSOR);
     private void startTimer(){
          timer = new Timer(timerDelay, this);
          timer.start();
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          JFrame f = new JFrame("Hidden-Cursor-Test");
          f.setSize(500, 500);
          f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
          f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          HiddenCursorListener lis = new HiddenCursorListener(f);
          f.addMouseMotionListener(lis);
          f.addMouseListener(lis);
          f.setVisible(true);

How do I stop the cursor from having a mind of its own?

I just received this computer T400. A mac user wswitching over to pc - not famliar with the land. I am using a notebook and the cursor clicks on its own when I let it rest and then transports me to whatever information/page that it happens to rest upon. needles to say this is very tiring. I have tried to go to the help section and there is not informaiton about how to stop this from happening. There is informaiton for mouse control. The information I found on the cursor only spoke to the rate of blinking.
also, I would like to incluse word in my start up programs and can't figure out how to do that.
the cursor information would be most useful to me at the moment. Thank you.

onlinebabe, welcome to the forum,
you probably need to turn off or adjust the sensitivity of tapping in the UltraNav Touchpad properties. Go to Control Panel > Mouse and select the UltraNav tab and adjust the settings.
Do you mean that you want word to start automatically when windows starts? Right click in an empty area of the task bar and choose properties > Start Menu > Customise and add Word to your Autostarts folder.
Hope this helps

How do I stop the cursor from spontaneously going to Line one space one in Notes?

How do I stop the cursor from spontaneously going to Line one Space one in Notes?
I am currently working on a MacBook Pro connected by Wi-Fi or Blue Tooth to my 16GB iPhone 4S; and supposedly to iCloud. I install every upgrade on each computer till the computer can take no more. My current MacBook Pro continues to accept upgrades.
I have been dealing with Address Book foibles since it first came out and the problems seem to get worse rather than resolved.
Problem #1: When a Company Name is checked to take precedence over a personal name the record/file does not surface during searches. This has happened for years on all my Macs, including most recently my MacBook Pro and its predecessor PowerBook G4. How do I fix this?
Problem #2: The Printing Defaults for Address Book Files are not useful and I can find no way to change them to my own preferences once and for all. I must reset them for every file every time I choose to print a file. Is there some way to set the defaults to MY preferences and only occasionally reset them according to my needs?
Problem #3: When entering information in "Notes" the cursor randomly and spontaneously goes to line one space one as I am entering information. How do I stop this? Then when I cut and paste the misplaced text to where it belongs it may or may not return to once again begin at line one space one and following.
Problem #4: When Printing a Record/File from Address Book I would like to use the whole 8.5" x 11" page. Instead it prints on an 8.5" x 11" page in three columns. Is there a way to format the output? I have not found one and the Mac 'Geniuses' do not know of any.
Problem #5: Subsequent to one of the upgrades in the last year or so, the search feature does not work. (I have had this computer since May 2011). No matter what I type in the search line I am stuck in the 'All' Directory. To find anyone or anything I must scroll through the address book manually. Is there a fix to this?
Problem #6: Sometimes, when I try to sync my MacBook Pro and my iPhone, the records simply duplicate. How d I undo this without manually deleting the duplicates?
Problem #7: Does anyone know of a third party Address-Book-type App that is better than the Apple version and can easily import over 3000 contacts information?

'''I had the same problem when I updated to firefox 4. This is how i fixed it:'''
The problem seems to be caused by the 'New Tab Homepage' add on. So:
# Disable or remove the 'New Tab Homepage' add on and restart firefox.
# Download and install the firefox add on called 'NewTabURL' and restart firefox.
# Click on the Options button for NewTabURL and uncheck 'Select location bar after loading new tab'
# Under the 'Default URL for new tabs' heading, choose 'Home Page'
# Click on the Save button.
Hopefully, problem solved!

How can we take the cursor to a different sub-screen from the BADI?

Hi,
We have to do some validation on Header, Operation and Relationship of any work order (IW31, IW32). We have checked that validations can be done at BADI WORKORDER_UPDATE in the method u2018AT_SAVEu2019. But user wants us to take the Cursor back to the field and screen due to which the error is coming. How can we take the cursor to a different sub-screen from the BADI?
Thanks in Advance,
Pranav

You 'ran out of room' because you tried to put your entire question into what is the 'Topic line' of the post.
This is a fairly common error, as a scan of the topic list will show, and likely due to a design flaw in the layout of the composition page.
Most posters who make this error do so on their first post, and are able to avoid a similar misstep on their second and subsequent questions.

How can I hide the borders and keep it as an option?

How can I hide the borders and keep it as an option? I had someone go into the css I believe, and make it so there were no borders visible on the page (I could see the dotted outline while working on it, but when pushed, it wasn't visible (which is what I wanted). They called it "noborders." Since I had to reinstall, it went away. Help?
I have Dreamweaver CS5.5

Try this site: CSS Border
Add code then type in a zero. Later add border size you want.
examples: border: 0px solid black;
or
border: 1px 000000;
or
     border-top-style: solid; 0px 000000;
     border-right-style: dotted; 0px 000000;
     border-bottom-style: solid; 2px 000000;
     border-left-style: dashed; 1px 000000;

How can I get the cursor's position in a opened file and display a menu?

Hello,
I want to make a program by which I will be able to display a panel/pops up menu at the corsor's current position, (In any text/doc file or in the desktop, we can display a menu by right click of the mouse.) Now I want my program to do the same task.
More clearly-
1. First I would save some words or sentences in a file(aa.txt).
2. Then I would open another text file/ a word/ excel/ or any other editor( bb.txt / cc.doc / dd.xls / ee.html ).
3. While editing or writing something in the opened file, if I click the right mouse button/ press a key (ctrl+space), a menu will appear containing the sentences I saved in the file(aa.txt) previously.
My program will tell me the cursor's position in bb.txt / cc.doc / dd.xls / ee.html that i opened. And display a menu. my problem is not reading / writing in a file.
My problem is how can I get the cursor's position in a opened file display a menu at that position by a mouse/key action*.
Would you please help me on this regard.
Thanks

How do i change the cursor on a jtable header when clicked for sorting?

here is my question, how do i change the cursor on a jtable header when I click the header for sorting?
I think it is suppose to be in the fragment of code where the header listener is implemented for sorting, but I'm not quite sure what is the exact component that holds everything so that i can change the cursor...
below is what I've tried, but it doesn't seem to work... thank you
public void addMouseListenerToHeaderInTable(JTable table) {
final TableSorter sorter = this;
final JTable tableView = table;
tableView.setColumnSelectionAllowed(false);
MouseAdapter listMouseListener = new
MouseAdapter() {
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
TableColumnModel columnModel =
tableView.getColumnModel();
int viewColumn =
columnModel.getColumnIndexAtX(e.getX());
int column =
tableView.convertColumnIndexToModel
(viewColumn);
System.out.println("column = "+column);
if (e.getClickCount() == 1 && column != -1) {
System.out.println("Sorting ...");
Cursor oldCursor =
tableView.getRootPane().getCursor();
System.out.println("oldCursor.getType()
= "+oldCursor.getType());
if (oldCursor.getType() !=
Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR){
JComponent parentPane =
tableView.getRootPane();
parentPane.getContentPane().setCursor
(new Cursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
parentPane.setCursor(new Cursor
(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
Cursor newCursor =
parentPane.getCursor();
System.out.println("newCursor.getType
() = "+newCursor.getType());
int shiftPressed = e.getModifiers(
&InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK;
boolean ascending = (shiftPressed == 0);
//System.out.println("tableView.getRootPane()
is "+tableView.getRootPane().getRootPane());
sorter.sortByColumn(column, ascending);
tableView.getRootPane().setCursor(new Cursor
(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));
//System.out.println("Done sorting");
JTableHeader th = tableView.getTableHeader();
th.addMouseListener(listMouseListener);
}

Hi,
Try setting the cursor for the table header.
table.getHeader().setCursor(Wait_Cursor);
