Hello! Well, im pretty much just into turing, but i posted a topic there to figure out how to hide the mouse (cursor). Since turing does not support that, and a few have suggested that java can, im wondering if i can create a program in java that can hide the mouse. And can be called upon by using the sysexec command through turing. What would i need to program in java? P.S. i have ABSOLUTELY no knowledge of java or anything regarding it 
Thanks to anyone who helps!! |

Ten seconds of google produced this link. Be warned that Java may not be the best / easiest way to do this because while it will work, it will require that all computers that your program runs on have a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed - while most do (and all should), there are many that won't, and the cursor won't hide on those machines. It seems like a lot of overhead / extra nonsense just to hide a cursor. You might try a compiled language; although it won't work as reliably cross-platform, neither will Turing, so you're probably okay with that. It will also run a little faster and it won't require a JRE. |

I'm not even sure Sys.Exec will allow you to supply a class/jar file as a parameter... |

Allright, then il try it with C++ the link you gave me for c++ doesnt really help me to be honest
I need the exact code since i dont plan on programming anything related to C  |

@Guardian: You get to run a command, as if at the command-line, I think. So you could run "java HideCursor 3 7" and that would invoke the HideCursor class with argument list [3, 7]. |
