PRB: RichEdit Control Hides Mouse Pointer (Cursor)

ID: Q131381

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Win32 Software Development Kit (SDK)

SYMPTOMS

When the mouse pointer (cursor) is over a RichEdit control and the user starts typing in the control, the RichEdit control hides the pointer.

CAUSE

When the user is typing in a RichEdit control, the control automatically hides the mouse pointer if it is is over the control. The control does this intentionally so the cursor does not obscure the text in the control. When the mouse is moved again, the pointer re-appears.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
