Is there a way to make WINCE 4.2 display the graphics cursor (mouse pointer) without having a mouse connected. We steer the mouse via an analog joystick and have a deamon do "SetCursorPos" to move the cursor. Works fine but when no mouse is connected to the USB port, the cursor does not display. We tried "ShowCursor(TRUE);" to increment the internal cursor visibility counter but it doesn't work.
Does anyone know how to trigger WINCE without connecting a physical mouse? |

| Good question. Your timing is good, as we're dealing with a number of other mouse cursor issues at this time. We'll look into it and let you know what we find. |

Have you tried setting EnableMouseCursor to 1 in adsload.reg? For example:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Display\Intel]
"EnableMouseCursor"=dword:1
No mouse cursor should be displayed unless this key is set. |

Yes, have tried setting EnableMouseCursor in the registry, but that doesn't help.
I noticed that when the USB mouse is removed and our application that steers the cursorposition has launced, the cursor doesn't display anymore but the coordinates of the cursorposition are correctly updated. This is proven by reinserting the USB mouse, and the cursor reappears on a new (seemingly correct) position.
So it seems only a matter of displaying the cursor, the internals of maintaining the cursorposition continue to work. |
