Hiding the mouse

[supaphreek]

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].
