Under Carbon, back in the old QuickDraw days, and even until Tiger,
there was a call named ObscureCursor that is deprecated under Tiger.
When called, it would cause the mouse cursor to hide until the mouse
is moved, when it would be shown again automatically. It worked
outside of the HideCursor/ShowCursor state, in that if you called
ObscureCursor after a HideCursor call, mouse movement would not
reveal the cursor, until a ShowCursor is made.
It was designed for text entry fields so that when the user begins
typing the mouse cursor hides until the user moves the mouse. The
NSTextView and NSTextField seem to do this automatically, but what
about other views where this could be useful? Say QTMovieView for
instance? What about QCViews?
What's the replacement? How do I get that functionality in a Cocoa
application without having to reinvent the wheel?
