It's possible to recognise hidden mouse cursor by game?

[BD9a]

Hello, how can I recognise hidden cursor by game (minecraft)? In other games (no java games, ex. Arma3) I can use "GetCursorInfo Flags", but in this case it dont work (always print "visible").

#include <iostream>
#include <windows.h>

int main()
{
    while (true)
    {
        CURSORINFO ci = {sizeof(CURSORINFO)};

        if (GetCursorInfo(&ci))
        {
            if (ci.flags == 0)
                std::cout << "hidden\n"; // cursor is hidden
            else if (ci.flags == 1)
                std::cout << "visible\n"; // cursor is visible
            else if (ci.flags == 2)
                std::cout << "suppressed\n"; // cursor is suppressed
            else
                std::cout << "ERROR\n"; // this shouldn't happen!
        }
        else
        {
            std::cout << "Win32 error: " << GetLastError() << std::endl; // GetCursorInfo function failed
        }
    }
}

It's possible to "fix" it using Qt?

Hi
If the game is using a custom cursor, im not sure you can use GetCursorInfo on it.

What do you mean in "custom cursor"? It probably works like in other games, hide cursor to move camera, and show cursor when open inventory or open menu. I need to recognise when inventory open by cursor visibility. I tried with those code above, but it dont work in Minecraft (in for example Arma3 works good).

Hi
A custom cursor is one where they do not use the system API for it.
Like draw it as a sprite or other methods.
In that case the API wont return useful info.
