blinking cursor

ok, im in the process of making a game, heres the deal, we've got our game working in a skeleton like state, but the blinking cursor in the corner of the screen isnt going away.

1st we draw a terrain to the screen, then our lil space ship comes up, and you use the arrow keys to move in it a specific direction. but the cursor is still in the top corner, blinking away! is there anything that will get rid of that and allow the game to run like normal???

This is with ermh....a console app right? It's in the MSDN Console
Application SDK somewhere

thats the thing though, what am i supposed to search for, when i was on msdn i didnt understand any of the cursor console app stuff

Oke, I'm downloading the (135MB pfff) SDK to look for it.

Code:

void HideCursor()
{
	CONSOLE_CURSOR_INFO lpCursor;	
	lpCursor.bVisible = 0;
	lpCursor.dwSize = 20;
	SetConsoleCursorInfo(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE),&lpCursor);
}

Will hide the cursor... and

Code:

SetConsoleMode(GetStdHandle(STD_INPUT_HANDLE), ENABLE_LINE_INPUT);

Will disable mouse input.

Remember to #include <windows.h>

OMG you guys ROCK!!! Thanks, curious though, did you find this stuff on msdn.microsoft?

I can't remember... MSDN has never helped me much.
