Use hidden mouse for application (like as DOSBox)

[Milsa]

How can I use mouse in my application?

I have emulator of 8-bit computer. It supports mouse. I need to hide operatig system mouse cursor (like as DOSBox) and detect this events in Windows or Linux:
- move
- left or right click

It is possible?

I'm not sure there is really a solution in the LCL, available for all platforms.

But, AFAIK DosBox is using SDL, which supports several OS (including Windows and Linux):  https://www.libsdl.org/

Screen.Cursor := crNone does not work ?

Your are right, but it's working only for the current application screen area.

In my mind, the reference to DosBox makes the question a little ambiguous. DosBox can "capture" the mouse cursor for the whole screen and hide or modify it:
