## 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.
