Avoid user notification message for Pointer Lock API

[sumesh s]

Hi,

When I used pointer lock JavaScript API, a user notification message displayed in Chromium browser (Chrome & Microsoft Edge). Please see the below reference link.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Pointer_Lock_API

https://mdn.github.io/dom-examples/pointer-lock/

Can I possible to do call pointer lock API (requestPointerLock()) without showing the "Press ESC to show your cursor" notification message?

Thanks & Regards

Are you asking whether a website can circumvent a security feature? No, it cannot.

If you are asking whether you can customize Chromium in order not to show this message, you will have to change some C++ code.

Hi PhistucK,

Thanks for your reply!

On our website, we hide the mouse pointer to do an action by calling the "requestPointerLock" javascript API. After completing the action execution, we explicitly call "exitPointerLock" API to release the pointer lock. In between, users don't want to see the notification message.

I am asking if it is possible to hide the notification message in some other way. I understand your answer, it makes sense.

I have no plan to customize the Chromium in order to achieve this.

Thanks
