blinking mouse cursor

Post by tip »

hello all,
i've found something anoying, the mouse cursor is blinking very fast when over the application window that runs the irrlicht engine. the only way to fix this is to hide windows cursor and manage my own with a triangle holding the mouse cursor texture?

tip

note to the documentation guy : when you read the f.. manual and you click on irrlicht logo on the top left corner, this send the user to www.irrlicht.sourceforge.net; which doesn't work (it's without www).

Right. But this only happens on some systems, on most it is no problem.

Ah, i'll fix that. Hey, but if you don'T like the "f.. " manual, or the engine, simply don't use it. No reason to be that offensive.

err don't be offended, it's just a silly reference to the RTFM sigle. :?
it's good to have a well done manual and i know how it's long and painful to make a good manual.

I had the same problem - not with Irrlicht, with everything. When I moved the cursor over a window that was being updated, it started to blink. Try using a different video driver, it worked for me.
