I’m working on a program where I’ve created a custom mouse cursor. It works great, but when I move my hidden mouse over a dynamic text box, the edit text cursor appears along with my custom mouse. How do I hide this dreaded “I” cursor?

Thanks for all the help in these forums. My previous trolling has been very educational!
