There is no way to do these but you can use a windows form with transparent background and do what you want there . :)) you can use cursor property to show what u want

Here it's Ctrl + LeftMouseKey that produces the laser pointer, and it's not a toggle the way the other settings are; the laser pointer appears only while Ctrl+LeftMouse are pressed.

There doesn't seem to be anything in the object model relating to this, so other than somehow toggling the Ctrl and LeftMouse to ON via code, I don't think you can do it.
