Hi!

I hope that there is still are someone out there using Turbo Pascal 7
and Turbo Vision.
I'm am writing a application using Turbo Vision, a bit old fashioned,
but I when _must_ use TP, it is definitly better than coding the user
interface by hand.
The problem is that when I switch to graphic mode the mousepointer
doesn't appear!
I use resetmouse; and showcursor; But still no mousepointer.
The computer still kepts track of how the mouse is moved around,
because if I move the mouse while in graphics mode, the mousepointer
has moved correctly when I return to text mode.
I suspect that the Turbo Vision Event Handler has something to do with
it - I guess it handles the events even when I'm in graphics mode, but
that should not be to big a problem if only I could see the bloody
mousepointer.

I hope someone can help - Thanx in advance :-)

Why shall TV be old fashioned?

Hide the mouse cursor before switching to graph mode.

Look for Graphic Vision from Jason Burgon on the TP-links
page in chapter "TurboVision".

There are also some bugfixes in the information chapter.
In FAQ chapter is an article about TV.
