Any particular reason? You can compile your C code with the ObjC
compiler and thereby call ObjC APIs, and if your code really isn't
compatible with ObjC (say you use variables named "id"), then you could
just put the ObjC code into a separate source file.
Cross platform compatibility, historical reasons, and
simplicity. If I mix in any other language, it will be
C++ to be able to use WxWidgets, again for cross platform
compatibility.
So if you're just trying to hide the cursor, is there any reason you
can't just call HideCursor or CGDisplayHideCursor?
No, but I was hoping that setting an invisible cursor in QD
might operate differently. It doesn't.
I do hope the new Carbon API is a little smarter, and allows setting
cursors as a window attribute ...
We will keep that in mind (although it's more likely we'll provide an
API that allows you to set a cursor as an HIView attribute. You could
always pass the window's root view to cover the entire window.)
Sounds overly complicated for something so simple on other platforms,
but I assume this is more flexible.
At least disabling the screensaver and powersaver was easy :-)
