WorldViz User Forum - ORTHO image over subwindow

If you just want to change the mouse cursor, then I would recommend using the viz.mouse.setCursor command. Here is some sample code:

Code:

import win32con

import win32gui



# Use Windows wait cursor

waitCursor = win32gui.LoadCursor(0,win32con.IDC_WAIT)

viz.mouse.setCursor(waitCursor)

If you want to overlay objects on top of all windows, then you can create a fullscreen sub-window with a higher draw order, and add the objects to that. Here is an example:

Code:

overlay = viz.addWindow(size=(1,1),pos=(0,1))

overlay.visible(False,viz.WORLD)

overlay.visible(False,viz.SCREEN)

overlay.drawOrder(100)

overlay.setClearMask(0)



tex = viz.addTexture('crosshair.png')

quad = viz.addTexQuad(parent=viz.ORTHO,scene=overlay,texture=tex,size=50)

viz.link(viz.Mouse,quad,srcFlag=viz.WINDOW_PIXELS)
