[comp.sys.atari.st] controlling the mouse cursor

vsnyder@jato.jpl.nasa.gov (Van Snyder) (02/08/91)

I have a little sub-desktop a-la the TDI desktop for controlling some stuff.
If I invoke a program from it that doesn't do the same number of "show mouse"
and "hide mouse" operations, either because it's ill-behaved or it crashed,
the mouse is screwed up when I get back to my sub-desktop.  I've tried lots of
things with GrafMouse, VDI and LineA to get the mouse cursor back to exactly
zero "show mouse" / "hide mouse" parity.  Nothing seems to work.  (Yes, I think
I've set the VDI / LineA argument that says "set hide mouse count to zero"
correctly.)  How does the desktop do it?

Thanks in advance for any information you're able to give me.
