hide cursor for kiosk application (powerpoint)

[Guest]

Hi LL

With regard to silent printing your suggestions did get rid of
the print dialog but in all cases the acrobat reader program
muscles its way to the top of the desktop. Setting topmost=true
on my app helps, but then the taskbar flashes up. Its a kludge
but finally I used ShowWindow(hndl,HIDE) to make the takbar
invisible.

The next step is to check the printer is actually available for print
before printing, and issue some message when printing complete.
I know that .NET does not directly support the print spooler
system and my previous attempts to get the printer status with WMI
always returned a positive state even when the printer was turned
off, so there could be a new question coming up soon ;-)

Thanks
M
