  2. Cursor disappears while typing in text box

    *Original Title: cursor and text box issues

    After clicking in a text box, the cursor disappears if the mouse/cursor moves anywhere but in the same text box. I cannot click in the text box and write unless I make sure the mouse is held in the same box. Windows 10

    any suggestions?

    vb.net select text from active cursor point in different window

    hello all - working on a dictation application and looking for some guidance as far as selecting text from a cursor point in a window outside of the applications form. I'll clarify a bit: The application types at the current cursor point using sendkeys() as you speak.. and I'm trying to handle commands such as "select word" which should select the word to the right of the current cursor point. I know how to handle selecting text within an application, but am looking to be pointed in the right direction for information on selecting text from say microsoft word etc. but keep in mind the goal for the application is to be universal for use within any EMR, word processor, web browser etc.

    Thanks for any assistance!

  4. Windows 10 Cursor disappears over text in several applications

    Cursor randomly disappears within certain applications - Windows 10

    I know this is an old post but I thought it would still be worthwhile responding for Windows 10 users.

    Step one:

    Right click on a blank part of your desktop and choose "Personalise",

    Step two:

    Click on "Themes",

    Step three:

    On the main section of the Themes settings screen, click on "Mouse cursor",

    Step four:

    Uncheck "Hide pointer while typing" and click "Apply" or "OK",

    Your mouse cursor should no longer disappear on you.

    *It could also be useful to put a check in the "Show location of pointer when I press CTRL key" option so if you don't know where your cursor is, you can find it by using the CTRL key.

    Microsoft support, I suggest that you should always remember that sometimes you should check the simple solutions first before recommending driver update or creating new user profiles.
