Center the mouse?

[Irrlicht_Rocks]

How can I keep the mouse inside of the window that will work with even non-Irrlicht apps?
I'm using Visual C++ 6.0.
Thanks.

Check out the cursor control functions.

That won't work with NON-IRRLICHT apps as well will it?
(I assume you are talking about the "cursor control functions" for Irrlicht)

Please watch the double posting. I just deleted a thread you started as guest with the exact same topic.

Sorry there about the double post.
I usually have auto-login checked but I must have erased my cookies.
I went to press the "Post Reply" button but I have bad aim today.
I missed and hit the "New Thread" button without even noticing it until after I had looked back at this topic not seeing my reply but a duplicate topic(which was supposed to be my reply in this thread) posted by "guest".

I'm not too big on windows programming, but there is a way to center the mouse, if you check the source for the cursor control functions in Irrlicht, then you'll see how Niko did it, or you can just google for a tutorial.

A nice simple sulution to your problem, is to say if the mouse is at a certai npoint then change its position to the center of the screen based on your resulution.

Yes, but HOW to do that is the problem.

that functions might help you:

SetCursorPos(x,y);
mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN,0 ,0,0,0);
mouse_event(MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP,0 ,0,0,0);

the dimmensions what u need u can get in win api function like

Code: Select all

hwnd = CreateWindow("ClassNam",			//  Name of registered class
                       "Tytul okna", 	//  Window title
                       WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, 		//  Styless
                       CW_USEDEFAULT, 			//  X coordinate
                       0, 				//  Y coordinate
                       CW_USEDEFAULT, 			//  Width
                       0, 				//  Height
                       NULL, 				//  Window parent handle
                       NULL, 				//  Handle to a menu
                       hInstance, 			//  hInstance handle
                       NULL);
