# Mouse Pointer The mouse pointer module provides APIs related to pointer attribute management. > **NOTE** > > 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.setPointerVisible9+ setPointerVisible(visible: boolean, callback: AsyncCallback<void>): void Sets the visible status of the mouse pointer.
