Can I make an Invisible Cursor? (Tkinter)

Expand Post »

I have a nice little Tkinter program but need to make the mouse cursor invisible for parts of it. I have seen ways to make the cursor change to other images, but I need it to actually be invisible. Any help?

P.S. If you think it's impossible that would be helpful to know too.

wxPython has a wx.CURSOR_BLANK, but I don't think Tkinter has anything like it. The cursor='draft_small' is about the smallest cursor I have used with Tkinter.

Hmm, unfortunately when I tried wxPython I just couldn't get a handle on it. I'd love to work through another tutorial and figure it out, but yeah, unfortunately this whole program is already written with Tkinter (and it's not small).

use cursor="none" it deletes the cursor.
I have use it in a frame, when calling the constructor...
