Hiding mouse cursor | GameDev.net

Hi. I want to hide mouse cursor on my Directx game window. I have done this case WM_SETCURSOR: SetCursor(NULL); device->ShowCursor(FALSE); return TRUE; In 99% of startups, cursor is hidden. But in 1% cases, the cursor remains shown until mouse is moved. How to correctly do this?

I am not exactly certain this is the "correct" way to do it, but just after I create my window I call:

  
	RECT r;
	r.top = WindowX;
	r.bottom = r.top + WindowHeight;
	r.left = WindowY;
	r.right = r.left + WindowWidth;
	ClipCursor(&r);
	ShowCursor(false);

You may or may not need the clipcursor stuff, I use it otherwise in windowed mode the mouse can go off the edge of your window and becomes visible again.
