How to hide mouse cursor in PV?
I try to get the active view, and get the renderWindow, set HideCursor(). However, when I run the PV, the cursor still there.

Can you say more about what you are trying to achieve? If you hide the mouse cursor, the user won’t be able to interact with ParaView, which would be strange for an interactive application 🙂
Are you trying to take a screenshot? Or is this for ParaView Glance or other web app?

I use PV in CAVE environment and I use joystick, so I wanna hide the mouse cursor when I manipulate the object, such as rotate or clip.
