FT_MHIDECRS()
Decrement internal mouse cursor flag and hide mouse cursor
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
FT_MHIDECRS() -> NIL
Arguments
NONE
Returns
NIL
Description
Hides the mouse cursor. Make sure to turn the mouse cursor off when
redrawing screens. The mouse cursor dutifully saves the screen
under it, so if you draw over the mouse cursor it will create a
"hole" in your screen when you move the mouse cursor.
Note: A call to FT_MHIDECRS() decrements a mouse driver variable
which indicates whether the cursor is shown. The cursor is visible
only when the variable = 0. Thus multiple calls to FT_MHIDECRS()
require an equal number of calls to FT_MSHOWCRS() before the cursor
will again be visible. Once the variable is 0 calls to FT_MSHOWCRS()
does not increment the varaible above 0.
