Maybe you're not using Irrlicht 1.6 - we did add some fixes for cursor and Win32 device.

If you're including windows.h, you could always do

Code: Select all

ShowCursor(true);

That's more or less what Irrlicht is doing now. Actually it calls ShowCursor(true) as long until it is visible, as cursors use a counter on Windows.

But there had been problems with Irrlicht before 1.6, as the state did sometimes not switch while a mouse-button was pressed. If it is a problem with 1.6 it would be great to have some code to reproduce this problem.
