this is the source code name "NetworkGameSkeletonSource"

ive compiled it fine and when it runs the cursor is not showing?

Your source code didn't load, I'd be interested to see how you created your window.

[MrDaaark]

I googled it, and it looks like someone's example framework. Most likely, the author just told the program not to show the cursor. Do a search in the source code for the word cursor, and look for the line where they set the cursor visibility to be false.

In XNA GS the line would contain IsMouseVisible = false. Comment it out, or change it to = true;

[Anddos]

HWND CreateFullscreenWindow( HINSTANCE hInstance, LPCSTR strClassName, LPCSTR strWindowTitle )

{

    // Create the window

    return CreateWindow( strClassName, strWindowTitle, WS_POPUP | WS_SYSMENU | WS_VISIBLE,

                         CW_USEDEFAULT, CW_USEDEFAULT, GetSystemMetrics( SM_CXSCREEN ),

                         GetSystemMetrics( SM_CYSCREEN ), GetDesktopWindow(), NULL,

                         hInstance, NULL );

 

}

It's native windows + D3D? Look for a function called SetCursor(false) and change it. Or WhateverD3DDeviceIsCalled->ShowCursor(false);

[Anddos]

i did look for them also , i could not find them in the source , btw thx for the fast replys 

should the cursor be hidden even tho this is set , d3dpp.Windowed = FALSE;

When creating your WNDCLASSEX, have you setup this member? wClass.hCursor=LoadCursor(NULL,IDC_ARROW);

[Anddos]

  // Register a standard window class

    WNDCLASS wc = { 0, WndProc, 0, 0, hInstance,

                    LoadIcon( hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_MAINICON) ),

                    LoadCursor( NULL, IDC_ARROW ),

                    (HBRUSH)GetStockObject(WHITE_BRUSH),

                    NULL, "wnd_ngsunseen" };

    RegisterClass( &wc );

Add this to your initialize method before base.initialize

 

this.IsMouseVisible = true;

[mhagain]

Add this to your initialize method before base.initialize

 

this.IsMouseVisible = true;

 

Ummm - this is native Win32 code we're talking about here.  There is no "base", no "base.initialize", etc.

It's most likely caused by this line:

 

FAILED( pMouse->SetCooperativeLevel( hWnd,
            DISCL_FOREGROUND|DISCL_EXCLUSIVE ) ) )

 

See the documentation on SetCooperativeLevel here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/microsoft.directx_sdk.idirectinputdevice8.idirectinputdevice8.setcooperativelevel(v=vs.85).aspx

 

If the system mouse is acquired in exclusive mode, the pointer is removed from the screen until the device is unacquired. This applies only to a mouse created by passing GUID_SysMouse to IDirectInput8::CreateDevice.
