    Do you noticed that the mouse pointer will hide when you are editing in a richedit control? Move your mouse pointer inside the rectangle of a rich edit control, input some characters, then the mouse pointer disappear! Why?

      Hi flyingxu, It is rather an intuitive and standard behavior. My guess is that it's been deliberately designed that way, so the mouse pointer doesn't stand on your way and so you could see what you are typing. But what makes you think that it's only the rich edit control? Have you tried checking the same with a normal CEdit control? Explorer/IE address bar? Run dialog, etc.,?

      Nobody can give you wiser advice than yourself. - Cicero .·´¯`·->Rajesh<-·´¯`·. Codeproject.com: Visual C++ MVP
