How about setting Screen->Cursor = crNone;

or the API way

SetCursor function establishes the cursor shape. 

HCURSOR SetCursor(
    HCURSOR hCursor 	// handle of cursor
   );

or

SetSystemCursor (
    HCURSOR hcur,	// set specified system cursor to this cursor's contents, 
// then destroy this
    DWORD id	// system cursor specified by its identifier
   );

Kind regards
Asger

thank you for the one part of the solution.

and what's the best way to fire a timer? i.e. detect the idle pointer and  
start counting the time.
Also, how to catch the first mouse movement to bring back the pointer?

Look at GetLastInputInfo():

Thanks for that.
Is it possible to check mouse movement only? because I still want to allow  
key input.
I've tried SPI_SETMOUSEVANISH. But that seems only to work with edit box  
when a cursor is set.
