hide cursor in Win32Window

I'm making my app in a Win32 Window, but the standard

 device->getCursorControl()->setVisible(false);

doesn't hide the mouse cursor.
Is there a Windows line of code I need to use?

I guess that this is what this is for:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX 9.0 SDK (October 2004)\Samples\Media\Misc\blank.cur

I remember having to get a "blank.cur" for a vb program i was making once. I've never done windows gui apps in c++ though, you might need an api call to set the cursor manually

int ShowCursor(
BOOL bShow // cursor visibility
);

compliments of the MSDN free online library

Yes. Thank you.
Irrlicht's, essentially, what I've learned to program in.
Incidently, I did try no knock around the MS site, but was swamped with all of the new-fangled .NET nonsense.

if you Google for MSDN, the first hit is the MSDN home page.
The Library link is at top of page second from left.

Yeah, as I said, that was the first stop. Didn't even need to google it.

And doing a searching around msdn these days seems to mostly return mostly the .Net Framework they are pushing on.
And I just really don't feel like wading through all of that, though I am sure what I'm looking for was in their somewhere...
...recent .NET issues I've been having is just really making me dislike it and give me an urge to run away when I see see it.

Alas, I guess we'll all eventually have to warm up to .NET

Well, thanks again.
