Window applet and mouse pointer

843807

Hi all!

I am developing a framwork to create educacional games to the OLPC (one laptop per child) project.

So, in this framework the games run in a Window application (JFrame) over a JApplet.


The problem is that I dont know how to hide the mouse pointer that appears over my window applet. I try to use the Toolkit.createCustomCursor(..) and them use the setCursor(..) method, but not work because the security policy.


Anybody have some ideia about how can I solve this problem?

here is a link that demonstrate my application running, and the mouse pointer over all the graphics.

What happens? Is some SecurityException thrown? And what exactly do you mean with

the games run in a Window application (JFrame) over a JApplet.

As far as I know, but I may be wrong, the following code should just runs fine:

import java.awt.Point;
import java.awt.Toolkit;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;

import javax.swing.JApplet;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;

public class NoCursor extends JApplet {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    public static void main(String[] args) {
	SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {

	    @Override
	    public void run() {
		JApplet applet = new NoCursor();
		applet.init();
		JFrame frame = new JFrame();
		frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		frame.add(applet);
		applet.init();
		frame.setSize(500, 400);
		frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
		frame.setVisible(true);
	    }
	});
    }

    @Override
    public void init() {
	this.getContentPane().setCursor(
		Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createCustomCursor(
			new BufferedImage(16, 16, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_ARGB),
			new Point(), "TransparentCursor"));
	this.add(new JLabel("A text label"));
    }

}
