How to hide the mouse cursor in GTK#?

[Jochen Rupp]

Hallo,

I want to hide the mouse cursor in my GTK# project.
With Windows Forms I can do this with
    Cursor.Hide();

Is there any simular methode or anything else in GTK#?

Thanx, for your help!! :-)

Bye

I believe  the conventional way is to create a 1x1 transparent cursor
and use that:

using (Pixmap inv = new Pixmap (null, 1, 1, 1)) {
  invisibleCursor = new Cursor (inv, inv, Gdk.Color.Zero, Gdk.Color.Zero, 0, 0);
}

For an example, see

Don't forget to dispose the cursor when you're done.
