|    Track Mouse Movement when the cursor is     |
|    09 Aug 08 01:12:39    |
      From: spamme9@gmail.com              I have the opportunity to rescue a project that       uses a mouse to sense the relative position of a machine.       The hardware is built...just needs to be programmed.       Stop snickering!!! I didn't do it...I just gotta fix it.              I need to make some calculations on the measurements       and VB6 is my language.              Yes, the system mouse will corrupt the measurement,       but it's an auditing function and that's acceptable.              Everything I've tried so far requires resetting the       mouse cursor to a known position on the screen at the       start of the machine cycle. That sorta works, but       makes it impossible for the system mouse to take control       long enough to operate the computer.              I need to get rid of the cursor position reset and just       monitor the movement of the mouse...NOT the position of       the cursor on the screen.              The obvious stuff in the API looks at cursor position.       I need mouse movement.              Is there some function that can be inquired       to determine mouse movement since the last query even when       the mouse cursor is stuck on the edge of the screen?              Thanks, mike              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
