Can I control mouse cursor with using MATLAB?

I'd like to control mouse cursor but I'm not sure even I can do it through MATLAB. If you can, will you tell me the functions to do it, examples of using them and MATLAB version contains those functions?

If you are moving it for use within MATLAB, you can set the root CurrentPoint property.
If you are moving it for use with other applications, see the Java Robot class.

Thank you so much! I didn't know you can call that class within MATLAB.

Control what exactly? You can control what it looks like :
set(gcf, 'Pointer', 'fullcrosshair');
set(gcf,'Pointer','watch');
% Change mouse pointer (cursor) to an arrow.
set(gcf,'Pointer','arrow');
and so on.
