Gah.. sorry. No. Not the issue.

SYSTEMPOINTER TRUE: I can use the mouse and it's not locked to a window. Fine.
SYSTEMPOINTER FALSE: I am locked to the window and can't move the mouse outside of it.

MY PROBLEM: I want to use a game-drawn mouse. I am either stuck with the system (windows) mouse drawn OVER my custom cursor if I want mouse freedom to leave the game window, or I am stuck with being able to use a custom drawn cursor rendered by the game BUT LOCKED TO THE GAME WINDOW.

WHY for the love of god can I not draw my own cursor and have the freedom to move the mouse OUTSIDE THE GAME WINDOW without the Windows system cursor being drawn over it. This isn't a BUG - it's a missing feature.

All I am asking is some help wrapping user32.dll to hide the mouse cursor so I can do SYSTEMPOINTER TRUE, draw my custom cursor, and hide the windows cursor. That's it!

Gernot????

Try Setcursor(0):

It might work with the IMPORT command.

Gernot, can you help me with the glbasic wrapper to call this? Having trouble with that.

in addition, Gernot, I found the following:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-setsystemcursor

I think this is more what we want? I think SetCursor is momentary, per some googling, not "while in app window." Not sure how to experiment with it. I just want a custom drawn cursor in the game without being locked to a screen and no windows mouse covering it up.
