Hiding Mouse Cursor in MDX

QuickSSilver · 04-26-2009, 06:43 AM

Just wondering if it is possible (via an option / command line switch) to hide the mouse cursor when running MDX? I have a touchscreen so can control all my buttons with it; the mouse cursor is actually redundant.

No there isnt a way to hide the cursor. Are you using it in a frontend, or by itself?

I can add it as an option pretty quickly. I'll try to incorporate it into the next release.

That would be awesome

Using it in a frontend, hence would like to disable the mouse cursor. Perhaps a setting in the xml file or a command line switch? I'm not sure how my frontend (Centrafuse) handles passing on parameters to an embedded app though.

Ride Runner hides it still when you embed MDX into a skin

That's what I thought...

I would have figured CF did the same.

Ok, it is done.

In the main graphics part of the configuration file add: HideCursor="True" (or "False" which is the default so it isn't needed).

So my main graphics section starts like this:

Code:

...
  <graphics>
  <!-- Begin Global Graphic Settings -->
      <main_display designed_for_size="800,600" show_at_size="800,600" menubar="Sizeable" RunInSystemTray="False" MinimizeToSystemTray="True" HideCursor="True"></main_display>
  <!-- End Global Graphic Settings -->
...

This has not been released yet but next release should include it. Any exe with a version number of 5.0.0.130 or higher will include this feature.
