The ShowCursor API function provides a quick way to hide the
mouse cursor. It does not disables the mouse cursor just hides it.
To see what i mean, add the following code to a form.

[vb:1:051fa75358]Private Declare Function ShowCursor Lib "user32" (ByVal bShow As Long) As Long

Private Sub Form_Click()
ShowCursor True
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
ShowCursor False
End Sub

Private Sub Form_QueryUnload(Cancel As Integer, UnloadMode As Integer)
ShowCursor True
End Sub[/vb:1:051fa75358]
Now, run the project. When you click the form, Visual Basic toggles
off the cursor's visibility. Click the form once more, and the
mouse cursor reappears. If the mouse cursor had been truly
disabled, you wouldn't have been able to make the mouse cursor
reappear because the click wouldn't have registered.
