Hide mouse cursor in OpenCV

I need to hide the cross-shaped cursor that OpenCV shows when moving the mouse over an image window. Does anybody know if it is possible?

I wanted to add a screenshot, but unfortunately the mouse cursor is not shown in screenshots.

Thanks!

Solution

  • I don't think it's possible with only OpenCV, you have to use OS API or eventually you may use QT(http://www.codeprogress.com/cpp/libraries/qt/QtHideMouseCursor.php#.UjGpZD-rGoE) - it's quite easy to use it with OpenCV.
