Mouse stuck in middle of window

jobro · 11 December 2005, 07:25

When I start winUAE in window mode the windows cursor is stuck exactly in the middle of the window. It moves silightly when I move the mouse, but then returning to the midpoint.

it's locked to the WinUAE window.. PRess Alt-Tab to unlock it!

Yeah I understand that, but why can't you just hide the cursor? It is just as simply as locating the screen width and height then place the cursor in the lower right corner to make it disapear.

if winuae is the FRONT window th cursor is hidden!

This happens when you start winuae but as it opens you select another window.. The mouse cursor is trapped but not hidden by winuae..

Do you see?

This is the only way to do it in windowed mode. Think what happens if mouse is only invisible and user clicks left or right mousebutton while mouse is outside of WinUAE's window..

There are other ways to trap the mouse but this is the most compatible.

Ok I c, and the window is the top window, and still the mouse is visible. No big problem tho since I can get around it ignoring the stray cursor.
