I'm sure a lot of people would like to see this.
Have it where I can move the mouse cursor out of the window the game is running in.
It seems like a simple enough thing to ask for. Surely someone knows how to do that.
I want to be able to move mouse outside of game window

Last I knew, not every IrrLicht demo does that.
Anyway, if you are talking about the FPS style demos, capturing the mouse and resetting the position to the center of the game window is a common feature in any FPS engine.
So, I'd imagine all you have to do is disable that feature, say like in Quake, when you open up a console in your game or just generally when you press some key you define to release the mouse. (maybe try irr::gui::ICursorControl::setPosition...)

Hitting Ctrl Esc usually get someone out of a window. I guess I could make it so that it detects that and toggles that feature off, then back on again when you click inside the window.
Or just have a command to toggle that on and off as needed.
Doh! Must learn to think things through before posting. Going back to the little padded white room now...

Irrlicht doesn't do this!
It will only capture the mouse when you insert a FPS camera because this camera has to keep the cursor centered and then calculates rotation based on how far you've moved the mouse.
If you want to have a FPS camera but toggle the input off, use camera->setInputReceiverEnabled(false);

That also disables keyboard input.
Isn't there any easy way to release just the mouse? (maybe in some future version?
This would be useful if you want to allow the user to manipulate hud items and move at the same time, for example in a rpg game one could prepare a spell using mouse while at the same time running like mad (away from those nasty monsters for whom the spell is being soon served.)
Sorry for my incoherent text, I just woke up.
