GMan's Mods & Stuff → Bug Reports → getCursorControl Error.
Hiya, I have downloaded the latest update and followed all the instructions accuratlly, all of the samples run appart from the hide cursor function. I recieve the following error which usually refers to an object which hasn't been loaded.
Unhandled Exception:Attempt to access field or method of Null object.
Here:
' disable mouse cursor
device.getCursorControl().setVisible(False)
Any help would be grately appreciated.
greetings Slaine 
this has been a spotty problem with Irrilcht proper that differs from machine to machine since about v1.1ish. its interesting that your getting the attempt to access error as that would mean that getCursorControl() is not able to get a valid instance of ICursorControl. if you willing to work with me here, id like to give you a special Irrlicht DLL in the hopes that we can maybe track this down. you are running windows correct?
hi Slaine. could you please add this before the device.getCursorControl().setVisible(False) call and then tell me the # that is output?
Print Irr_IrrlichtDevice_getCursorControl(device.handle)
Returnthank you!
I'm glad it wasn't just me, I thought I was going mad 
Here is the returned number 19470856
im going to go ahead and compile a special DLL for you. you will need to run it and then post back the log file created. probably wont be today but hopefully by the weekend.
No problem, glad to help.
Slaine, this problem occurr to me only when I rebuild the mdule.
Have you tried to use the module without rebuilding it (just coping to the mod folder)?
No I haven't tried this, I will give it a go.
Is it not important to re-build the modules? I'm not quite sure how this would produce the error?
It worked! Tad bizzare no?
interesting. what version of MingW are you both using?
I am using Mingw 3.1.0 and bmax1.24.
I'm using 3.1.0 too.
I'm having the exact same issue.
I added the lines below and my returned # is 4035864
I don't think I rebuilt the module when I installed it, but I'll reinstall and see...
greetings i would be really interested to see if the recompile fixes your issue.
gman, Hello! Tell me about your version MinGW I'm, after recompile, also get this error.
Hi!
Long time no see.
I just want to state, that the problem:
" ' disable mouse cursor
device.getCursorControl().setVisible(False)"
stilll exists. I recently got the mod (1.3.1) working under Linux.
Everything is fine, except the "cursor-problem".
An "uncaught exception" error is thrown.
It might result from the "missing" cursor / cursor-device.
Maybe it will be fixed with the next port.
( 1.4 is OUT 
)

I've the same bug. I'm running Linux and the latest version of BlitzMax.
I've tried to copy only mod folder but when I try to start example, compiler says that can't find module
So, I build module and then I've the same problem of others with the cursor. Is it possible to solve this bug?
No Reply??
I've lost entire day... I've tried also minib3d. Hidemouse() in minib3d works well without crash application.
only in irrlicht wrap for linux I've this problem. Any solution?
Hello,
I'm new to this forum but I just wanted to let you note that I'm also stuck with this problem (on Ubuntu Linux, BlitzMax 1.28 and Irrlicht 1.4 + the latest Irrlicht.Mod). Maybe the Irrlicht developers can help us here?
Yesterday i had some time to update and play around with BlitzMAX and my favourite extention, the irrlicht-mod.
I changed to 1.4.1 the "hiding-the-mouse"-problem still exists.
Hope they will fix it in V.1.5.
System specs:
- Ubuntu Hardy Heron (8.04)
- BlitzMAX 1.28
- irrlicht / irrlicht-mod 1.4.1
