>>I've got a long procedure that runs in the background in which I watch for keypresses. I don't want to show the mouse cursor because mouse clicks don't work.

Oops. Sorry. Didn't read you post carefully enough. You
don't want the hourglass to appear. I don't really understand this since the hourglass is the universal symbol that says to the user "I'm working so don't bother doing anything". Am I missing something about what you're trying to accomplish?
