Changing mouse mode

So I'm trying to make a first person game with an inventory. I've managed to put an inventory that I can open with the "I" key, but how do I make it such that when I open the inventory, the mouse stops controlling my view and I get a visible cursor with which I can manipulate my inventory; and when I close the inventory I go back to controlling the movement of the character and the cursor disappears?

in update:

Quote:if(inventory gui hide)
{
camera
}
else
inventory

or add bool variable and set it when I pressed.

I get that much, but what is the name of the function that I need to use to bind/unbind the mouse to player movement? Also what is the name of the function that I need to use to display/hide the mouse cursor?

Code:

Ms.hide()

Ms.show()

if(Ms.hidden())

1). hides the mouse.
2). show the mouse.
3). returns bool if mouse is hidden or not.
there is no bind for player movement handled for you except if you are doing movement outside of player struct and move them in global update function or in the case you need to do what Seba said, using

Code:

if(Ginventory.hidden())

 move player

else

  something else.

or

Code:

if(Gui.ms()==&Ginventory) 

if mouse is inside inventory gui object do inventory related operations

else

player move specific code
