Hi,
Thanks for response.
My app is a virtual machine solution; and the system running on this VM has its own cursor for virtual mouse. Therefore, I should not show the additional cursor coming from the tizen to the user.
Thanks for pointing about using elm_win_add() and related APIs. I have used ecore_* APIs since I looked up into tizen support code for SDL2 library to find how to work with windows on Tizen, and it was using ecore_* APIs.
I will replace in future ecore_wl_window_new() with elm_win_add() calls; however at this time, I guess it will involve lot of work since a good amount of EGL and keyboard/mouse input event handler code are working with ecore_... APIs. Before starting replacement, I want to know (documentation/sample code to illustrate) how EGL APIs (e.g. eglCreateWindowSurface, not Evas GL apis) can work with window created using elm_win_*() apis.
If there is a way to hide mouse by doing something e.g. in mouse event handler passed to ecore_event_handler_add(), please let me know. I want to use it temporarily.
Thanks,
Ravindra Sande

As a maintainer of Tizen window system input, I strongly agree with Carsten Haitzler.
You can change the cursor image for your application when it's on your app window,
but you shouldn't try to hide it as the cursor is not the asset of an application but the system global resource.
I think it must be controlled by the compositor. The compositor controls the cursor visibility under the policy.
If you try to hide it and suppose it's hidden. I think there will be confusion for a user
as he doesn't understand why the cursor is not visible while the mouse is moving around.
Thanks.

(environment variables will determine the default display system to use, not code in your app). you will want all of this also for dnd, copy & paste, client side decorations if needed and much more. secondly... please look at sample code. i wrote a whole video player and mini "media center" app: https://git.enlightenment.org/apps/rage.git/ grab it. compile on your pc (with efl etc. there) and mess around with it. it'll index ~/Videos/ if given no cmdline arguments otherwise pass in what you want to play on the cmdline much like mplayer. the point: it blanks the cursor. in win.c https://git.enlightenment.org/apps/rage.git/tree/src/bin/win.c#n557 it creates a button, sets the color to 0 0 0 0 (invisible) and keeps it hidden. when it wants to hide the mouse it shows event2 and since it is on top this button controls the mousse cursor and the blank cursor is used... realistically though - your app shouldnt have to really do this in general. the compositor itself likely should do this automatically. e.g. if you use a mouse device, show the cursor, then when you go idle for a while, hide it. not the policy you want on a pc, but the kind you'd want on a touch screen device or a tv with a remote that may sometimes have mice attached or used. > Is there any API to do this ? > > Regards, > Ravindra Sande > > _______________________________________________ > Dev mailing list > Dev@lists.tizen.org > https://lists.tizen.org/listinfo/dev > -- Carsten Haitzler (The Rasterman) <ti...@rasterman.com> _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list Dev@lists.tizen.org https://lists.tizen.org/listinfo/dev
