temporarily removing the mouse

[Daniel A Haug <aihaug@SHRIKE.AUSTIN.LOCKHEED.COM>]

I have a problem with catching a picture of the mouse cursor sometimes
during periods of extensive bitblting.  Its my software thats doing the
blting, and sometimes if you happen to move the mouse across a region
thats being blted at the same time, you get a snapshot of the mouse cursor.
It was suggested to me by someone that there is a way to make the mouse
disappear momentarily for the duration of the bitblt.  As this bitblting
is occuring during mouse-tracking (e.g. running in the mouse process),
I am only interested in a very high-speed, low-overhead solution.

Does anyone know if there is such a thing?
