# @ohos.multimodalInput.pointer (Mouse Pointer)

The **pointer** module provides APIs related to pointer attribute management.

> **NOTE**<br>
> The initial APIs of this module are supported since API version 9. Newly added APIs will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.

## Modules to Import

```js
import pointer from '@ohos.multimodalInput.pointer';
```

## pointer.setPointerVisible<sup>9+</sup>

setPointerVisible(visible: boolean, callback: AsyncCallback&lt;void&gt;): void

Sets the visible status of the mouse pointer. This API uses an asynchronous callback to return the result.
