In SDL, I am trying to create a custom mouse pointer. The obvious solution is to just draw an image at the location of the default mouse and cover it up, but is there any way to get SDL to still use the mouse but not draw it or draw my image instead?
If you're running Windows, have you already tried ShowCursor(FALSE)?
This might be a bit of a noob answer, but I don't know if SDL just uses the windows cursor or hides it and draws an own cursor that you want to replace.
No, I hadn't tried that. I haven't really found anything on this.
It is clear though that SDL is drawing a different cursor than windows.
DOH!
Pretty sure I should use SDL_ShowCursor(0);
