Invisible Cursor

Is there anybody that knows how to make the mouse cursor invisible either always or when it's in the field of my program?

Don't know for sure, but I would start with the Component.setCursor() method. I don't see an "invisible" cursor in the Cursor class, but there is a Toolkit.createCustomCursor() method that you might look at.

  • HT1338 MacBook OS 10.7.5, running Firefox. Invisible Cursor...

    MacBook OS X (10.7.5), running Firefox 18.0.1 (although I think this has been happening since OS X Leopard + Firefox)
    While streaming video the cursor becomes invisible, but still moves & functions correctly.
    While the cursor still works, I  find it very difficult to work w/ an invisible cursor.
    SImilar issues? Solutions?
    Thank you
    *I imagine it has to do w/:
    (a) my Firefox plugins &/or extensions..
    (b) my graphics or media drivers..

    No need to get it from FTP when there is https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/beta/all/
    Also there is no such versions as 34.2, 34.5 as they were likely 34.0b2 and 34.0b5 with the current being 34.0b11

    you are right
    But it is hard to describe conditions precisely.
    I know that doesn't happen every time when I do vertical split
    I know that occurs on Gvim 7.2.2 fc5, kde (don't remember version)
    Gvim 7.2.26 Ubuntu 8.1 kde 4.1.2
    But now I am running  (for 1,5 days)
    Gvim 7.2.26 Ubuntu 8.1 xfce 4.4.2 (plasmoid in kde was annoying me) and bug still doesn't occurs.
    So, is it connected with kde or I was just lucky?
    No problems here running on Gnome. It is kind of weird because on KDE 4.1.3 and fluxbox it happened :S
    Damnshock
    Well...that's really strange. So my guess was wrong. It depends in some way on the window manager used.
    Gvim vsplit bug occurs on:
    openbox
    awesome
    fluxbox
    kde 4.1
    Gvim vsplit does not occurs on:
    Gnome 2.24 guess
    xfce xfce 4.4.2
    Any other?

  • Invisible cursor in illustrator 5.5 after OSX Mavericks update

    Hi there,
    I realised, that after update to OSX Mavericks (10.9) there is almost invisible type cursor (as you hit T and try to edit text) in my Illustrator CS 5.5. Have you experienced this problem too? Well, it is not invisible, but like 10% black on white backgroud. As you can see on attached picture, cursor actually IS there, but from the front, you can't see it... Any opinion or troubleshoot? https://www.dropbox.com/s/rbhf9j52iw8m1y9/cursor.jpg
    Thank you very much!
    Configuration is: MBA 13" mid-2013 (i7, 8GB RAM, HD 5000, OSX Mavericks), Adobe Creative Suit Standard for Students CS 5.5.

    There have been atleast 3 posts in recent days about hard to see cursors, and atleast one of those posts mentioned new iMac. So i think you hti it on the hose that this is related to Mavericks.
    You can system preferences >> accesibility >> Display
    One tick mark should do it as it gets big really fast.
    I hope to see a mac OS update in the near future, or that someone else finds a solution.
    How do you like Mavericks otherwse, any good features?

  • Multiple/Invisible Cursor

    I'm wanting to make a program that involves creating another cursor that is invisible and will not conflict with the cursor that belongs to your mouse. I have no idea where to start so a general direction to head or some tips would be great!
    Thanks.
    Edit: It might be useful to say that the cursors will only be used in the program(s). I use the (s) because their will be a way to run the same part, but in different ways. If that makes sense.

    You want a cursor that you can't see and which doesn't have anything to do with where the mouse is pointing? Is that a correct description of the question?
    If so, how would this cursor affect the behaviour of your program? And how would the user control its location? Actually, first, would the user control its location?
    I'm asking for some kind of design requirements because it's quite possible that a cursor isn't the right thing for whatever it is you want to do.

  • Invisible cursor in email messages on Curve 9300

    Hello,
    Just got new Curve 9300 (previously had Pearl). My OS is 6.0 Bundle 2534 (v6.0.0.570, Platform 6.6.0.212). My carrier is Orange.
    I have noticed that the cursor is not visible in messages in my Desktop email box (i.e.. Email coming from my employer's BES), but the cursor is visible in other email boxes.
    However, in my Desktop email box, I can make the cursor visible by clicking the Shift key.
    This is not really a problem, but I am curious whether it is a bug or a feature and whether other Curve 9300 owners have had the same experience.

  • Invisible cursor in text form field with black background

    The text input cursor (the vertical line that blinks) isn't visible when typing in a textarea form field that has a black background. In other browsers, the cursor alternates black and white so you can see it when it's white. But in Safari, I don't see anything. Is this a bug?

    here's a sample page:

  • Code Editor, Invisible Cursor

    I'm using JDeveloper9i (902) and the code editor cursor keeps disappearing. It's still there, you can edit code, you just can't see it. If you close the editor window and open it again the cursor is displayed. Is this a known bug? Is it fixed in 903?
    Thanks for your help,
    Ian

    Hi Mark, Ian,
    It turns out that this is a Swing bug - see Sun bugs #4519058 and 4672816. When you minimize a Java app, it receives a focusLost( temporary ) event. The bug is that when you restore the Java app, it does not receive a focusGained() event. This occurs in JDK 1.3.1_01 through JDK 1.3.1_03, and does not reproduce in JDK 1.4. From the bug text, it seems that Sun does not intend to fix this in JDK 1.3 unless it is escalated.
    This reproduces when you minimize a Java app using the task bar, or the minimize icon in the app's title bar. Incidentally, you can see the bug with JDeveloper's system navigator also - the system navigator uses a darken selection color in the tree when it has focus, and a lighter selection color when it does not have focus. When you follow the reproduce steps you indicated with the navigator, the navigator stays with the lighter selection color when JDeveloper is restored.
    As I mentioned, currently JDeveloper itself runs under JDK 1.3.1 - we are trying to move to running under JDK 1.4 in the 9.0.4 timeframe, but are working through some painting irregularities currently. I've filed Oracle bug #2562479 with the information from this thread for tracking purposes. I'm still looking into a workaround for this, but I'm not sure at this point whether it is possible without a lot of overhead.

  • Making the mouse cursor invisible.

    I am currently in the deployment phase of software made for two touchscreen kiosks.
    When moving the applications over to these kiosks I realized that we needed to make the mouse cursor invisible.
    I have tried the
    Cursor cursor = new Cursor();// ALthough i was unable to find a cursor constant that gave me an invisible pointer.
    testFrame.setCursor(cursor);
    Any ideas how I could remove the pointer from view alltogether?

    Toolkit tk = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
    Image image = tk.getImage("yourPicture.gif");
    Cursor invisibleCursor = tk.createCustomCursor(image, new Point(0,0), "invisible cursor");I usually use a 1 x 1 transparent gif.

  • Loading mulitple Adobe Flash web pages makes mouse cursor disappear

    I have a 2011 Mac Mini with OSX 10.7 Lion Server
    Regardless of the Browser used  - if I load mulitple Adobe Flash based Flickr photo slide show web pages, after 15 seconds my Mouse Cursor completely disappears and makes navigating the mac rather impossible.
    Its really buggy and forces me to click or "right click" (Option Click) randomly on the Desktop with the hope that I might briefly see the cursor return so I can close the browsers.
    Does not matter if i use Safari, Firefox or Chrome.
    These are the pages in question which give me grief -
    http://www.flickr.com/groups/warbirds/pool/with/8032123616/lightbox/
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/fluxstreamcommunication/show/
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/x-ray_delta_one/show/
    must click the "play " to start the slide show, have all three running at the same time.
    And withing 10 seconds on my mac mini - NO Curser.
    Even if I try to move the mouse outside the Browser display area  - to where i clairvoyantly might consider the cursor should be over the Desktop.
    Typically results in the invisible cursor accidently creating numerous new folders on the desktop, as I frantically attempt to make the cursor re-appear.
    Totally maddening - and I have the Identical problem on Two separate 2011 Macs. (iMac 27 and Mac Mini)
    My local  Apple Genius Bar support person suggested I back up my data and perform  "OSX Recovery"
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    Stating its possble that my Adobe Flash was installed wrong.
    I have the latest updates
    OSX 10.7.4
    Flash Version 11.4.402.265

    Update.
    This solved the problem
    My local  Apple Genius Bar support person suggested this sequence and it fixed my disappearing cursor!
    1) Back Up personal Data
    2) Perform "OSX Recovery"
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    3) Perform the Apple Software update
    4) Then install latest Adobe Flash
    This fixed my problem!
    Now I'll do the same fix for my 2011 iMac 27" with the identical issue.

  • 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;

  • When I use the arrow keys in firefox to go forward and back, the cursor erases tiny bits of the letters.

    Even within this text field as I type, all is normal, but backspacing using the arrow keys (and then also forward spacing using the arrow keys as I return to typing) erases bits of the text. Once I begin typing again in this field, the erased components restore to normal. This effect can be captured in a screenshot. Upon closer inspection, there appears to be a second invisible cursor, one full character to the right of the visible cursor. So when arrow backspacing, the invisible cursor trails the visible one, wrecking the text behind. When forward spacing using the arrow keys the text gets wrecked in front of the visible cursor.

    I am guilty of not following up. The above solution "appeared" to work for me until I realized that now, the text does not erase bits on the same line as my cursor but erases any text on the line below my cursor... so if I am typing above other text, these semi-invisible marks chop up the text below where I am backspacing. Yes, I know - put this in David Letterman's, "Museum of the hard to believe".

  • Drag annotation in one axis only

    I have some annotations that are created automatically on an XY plot.  The annotation is associated with a time point in the x-axis, but it might be created right on top of some data.  I would like the user to be able to drag the annotation (not just the label) along only the y-axis.  Is there an easy way to do this?
    One solution which won't be too difficult to add to my code is to track the drag and then reset the x while leaving the y alone.  But I was hoping there might be an easier way that I am missing.
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Hi mattkav,
    I am not aware of any easier way to accomplish this. The only other thought I had was to create an invisible cursor at the current location of the annotation, and then as the cursor is being dragged, move the corresponding annotation. I don't think this would really be any easier than the solution you proposed though.

  • Where did my mouse go?

    My mouse (well really just the arrow thing) keeps disappearing and it only seems to happen in Safari. It will still show when it goes over a link but the mouse (arrow) isn't there. I just restarted my computer and it seems to have helped some but I don't know why it keeps disappearing. Is there anything I can do?

    I have a very similar issue in Safari. For me the mouse cursor only disappears when I run it up to the tabs bar. Like mandapanda, I still get the visual notifications when the (invisible) cursor is over the Close button or moves over a different tab. The problem only happens occasionally though. Anyone have any clues?
    Running:
    Leopard 10.5.2 on an Aluminum iMac
    Safari 3.0.4 (5523.15)
