Any suggestions on how I can hide the "busy" cursor VFP displays when performing some actions?

I have a scenario where different parts of a form update as a user moves a mouse over a specific region of the form. The updates take less than a second, but my users are constantly distracted by the mouse cursor toggling back and forth between a pointer arrow and a busy state.

I've tried placing the following in the MouseEnter event that fires form update code that causes VFP to display its busy mouse cursor:

Technique 1:

ThisForm.LockScreen = .T. 
...
ThisForm.LockScreen = .F. 

Technique 2:

This.MousePointer = 13 && hide mouse pointer 
... 
This.MousePointer = 0 && restore default mouse pointer

Neither of these techniques has any effect on VFP's desire to display its busy mouse cursor.

Any suggestions on how I can temporarily lock in place a mouse cursor that won't be changed by VFP or on how I can temporarily hide my mouse cursor from being displayed?

Thanks,
Malcolm
