Post New Requests Here / IDEA: Confine Mouse to Specific Monitor in Multi-monitor setup
« on: April 09, 2006, 02:52 PM »
Hi there oh-guru-of-coding-snacks! :-*
I have two monitors on my system, which I find REALLY useful (if haven't tried this setup, I REALLY recommend it!) and sometimes have the situation where I don't want the mouse going anywhere near the second monitor, e.g. when playing some full-screen games on monitor 1, the mouse will travel onto monitor 2, and make the game window inactive.
So, is it possible to put together a little proggie to make the mouse stay on the current monitor (1 or 2 or whatever the current monitor ID is) through a key-combo toggle?
Question: if it's a system setting (i.e. a mouse hook) will all programs respect the confinement rule?
Anyway, REALLY looking forward to hearing from you about this! :)
Many thanks in advance
