Display and hide the mouse cursor

Hi Jaewon,

Do you have any functions that allow us to display/hide the mouse cursor during the run_scene running?
Currently a virtual mouse cursor is always displaying on the subject screen.

Thanks!

On what condition is this happening? Are you using MouseTracker but do not want to show a cursor? Have you tried the latest package?

Hi Jaewon,

I have a task that needs human subjects to indicate a target position by mouse click.

How can we control the display/hide the mouse cursor during a certain period of the task?


Thanks!

The mouse cursor just shows up when you run a scene that contains the mouse tracker. There is no need to turn it on and off.

Thanks Jaewon,

Unfortunately we are using your V1 specific functions, which are not compatible with the run_scene.

We can read the mouse position by mouse_position, but cannot control the on/off of the mouse cursor, that 's the problem.



Also, I tried to use run_scene separately.

The mouse cursor just shows up, as you said, but it keeps on showing all the time but not only one chosen period.
(e.g. I may only need the mouse cursor shows up during the choice period in your demo dms timing script, no fixation, or sample, or delay period)

I wonder the on/off of mouse cursor was actually just controlled by the 'Other device settings' on the control panel?

Since Timing Script v1 does not process mouse input, you need to draw the cursor yourself. Register a cursor image as a PIC TaskObject. When you read the mouse position, call reposition_object() as well to change the position of the cursor image. Use toggleobject() to turn on and off the cursor.

The behavior of the mouse cursor during the run_scene() is my mistake. I am working on it.

Update: The MouseTracker is fixed.

I worked it out.

Thank you Jaewon!
