About hiding the cursor using GameWindow in Linux

Posted Sunday, 17 October, 2010 - 11:54 by migueltk in

Hi, ...

I've been looking for ways to hide the cursor using GameWindow in linux and I could not solve the problem. The easiest solution for me would make a call to XDefineCursor () of the X11 library, but I have no knowledge to do this.

Is OpenTK implementing this functionality?

If I use a OpenTK.GLControl no problem, but I understand that is slower than a GameWindow and also in linux (Ubuntu) rearrange full screen from a Windows.Form not work well.

Any solution, please.

Regards, ...

This is on the todo list. As a workaround, you can reference System.Windows.Forms and use Cursor.Hide() to disable the cursor.

System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Hide () works fine in windows but not on Linux (Ubuntu). Thanks for your response.
