I'm working with Tcl-Tk while I call it from APL(2C). But this is purely about Tcl-Tk. The cursor can be set by :
. configure -cursor type
where . is the window name and type is the cursor type (e.g. wait or arrow). Now the file that contains all these cursor types (cursorfont.h) does not have a "hidden" cursor. So one solution could be to make the color of the cursor transparent. According to the manual that can be done with the following:
. configure -cursor type[foreground[background]]
but when i use any color it says: "green is an unvalid command name". So while i just want it to be an option, it interprets it as a command.
Who knows how to apply a color to the cursor, or a totally different way to hide the cursor? Any help or suggestion is appreciated.
