Windows platform question
From the TGE main menu screen, I am calling an external dll which opens a browser window. The problem is that there is no cursor visible in this browser window which is not very usefull.
I suspect that because the main screen was in openGL mode and the browser uses "Windows draw functions" that their is some technology clash occuring.
I have tried the Windows function ShowCursor(true); , both befor and after the dll function call but no result.
Is there some Windows or OpenGl function I should call first prior to making the dll call which would sort this out?
[edit] It's not the dll function. I also tried calling the Windows messageBox function. The message box appears and functions correctly, but no cursor.
