« on: October 27, 2005, 04:34 PM »
Hi Skrommel,
Hi all (and thanx you all for all the softs you give us ;))

I was wondering what this NoStrayClicks is supposed to do... whatever it should does... it's not doing it, as It just change icons on my laptop's tray, and no more :D

Clues?

Thanx! Bye
Keep up your worx!!

If this is not meant to do this, I'd ask for a coding snack :D

:) As soon as you start typing, NoStrayClicks moves the mouse to the lower left edge of the screen to prevent accidental clicks, and replaces it with a crosshair.

So to make a valid click, you first have to move the mouse a few pixels, and then click.

The moving and the crosshair could be replaced by a mousehook, but I'm not too fond of them.
