Problem trying to set cursor for a TextCtrl

I’m trying to emulate the look of an iPad in a wxPython touchscreen app, so I’ve hidden the cursor on the panel like this:

panel.SetCursor( wx.StockCursor(wx.CURSOR_BLANK) )

This works well. However, when I try to allow a cursor in my TextCtrl, like this:

myTextCtrl.SetCursor( wx.StockCursor(wx.CURSOR_CHAR) )

The setting is apparently ignored.

I’m using Windows, if that matters.

Searching the list archives I found this thread, though it was inconclusive:

I’m wondering if anyone knows if this is possible, or if there’s a workaround?

Thanks for any help.

Sorry, please disregard my post, its working fine, the error was issue was caused by something else in my code.
