BorAq Posts: 4 Rating: (1)	Hello experts, I am quite the novice I have to admit, so excuse my question if it is a stupid one; Is there any way to change or disable or hide the cursor for a KTP700 in TIAportal? it has WINcc basic. I can find non of the above stated options and I have used the search function in the PDF manual to no avail. Thanks in advance for you help. ----------- new subject after splitting from Changing the MOUSE pointer in WInCC

Windows CE does not provide a operating system change of mouse pointer (there is no menu item for this task). Maybe someone of Simatic-panel forum can help us. But please try to change pointer via C-script. Function SetCursor() is provided in Win CE (please search on Microsoft developer network). And remember: WinCE provides different functions than Win7! Maybe this will help. But I'm not sure: if Comfort-panels do not provide scripting-functionality you will not succeed. Georg

BorAq Posts: 4 Rating: (1)	Thanks again to cumulus but that is way to complicated for me.I had to google C-script. just to give you an idea as to the level of my skill.Maybe Siemens would want to look into this. I have a lot of clients requesting to remove the annoying mouse cursor because they already use touch screen. I would find it very helpful if it was an option in the TIA portal. Update 7 maybe?

We were looking for the same type functionality. It seems as though this "2nd generation" HMI does not have teh ability to hide the mouse cursor. I am however very sure I saw the setting in the Windows CE options of a older HMI (KTP600?). It is however fair to mention the "2nd generation" HMIs do not run on Windows CE. ..so it is a case of grin and bear it. w

So if you want to hide cursor, restart panel... hardware solutions of software problems are stupid :( I have KTP 700 2nd generation
