changing or hiding mouse cursor

Hello all
I want to know how to either change the mouse cursor or hide it when it is over a particular widow in the example below.

compile using
gcc -Wall -g basic_window.c -o basic_window -export-dynamic `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-2.0 `

Code:

#include <gtk/gtk.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
GtkWidget *Lwindow;


gint main (gint argc, gchar *argv[])
{

   gtk_init (&argc, &argv);


   Lwindow = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
   gtk_window_set_title (GTK_WINDOW (Lwindow), "WOnka Window");
   gtk_window_set_modal(GTK_WINDOW (Lwindow),TRUE);
   gtk_window_set_transient_for(GTK_WINDOW (Lwindow),NULL);
   gtk_window_set_position (GTK_WINDOW (Lwindow), GTK_WIN_POS_CENTER);
   gtk_container_set_border_width (GTK_CONTAINER (Lwindow), 1);
   gtk_widget_set_size_request (Lwindow, 750, 300);


   gtk_widget_show_all (Lwindow);
   gtk_main ();

   return 0;
}

Thank You

Hello.

Have you even tried searching for any preexisting solution? Simply typing "changing cursor" in search field of this forum returns these results: do search for me.

Cheers,

I managed to do it ....

Code:

      GdkCursor *cur;
      cur = gdk_cursor_new( GDK_BLANK_CURSOR );
      gdk_window_set_cursor (gtk_widget_get_window( GTK_WIDGET( Lwindow ) ), cur); 
      gdk_cursor_unref( cur );

Thanks man!
