thanks for that hc!

though I could only figure out moving the mouse around in edit mode
for selecting/moving canvas objects ( like the Help -> Browser->
manuals -> pd-msg -> 1.msg_and_patch -> 3.1.motion.pd ) - which would
be the mouse, mouseup, and motion messages

I can't seem to find a message that actually moves the user's cursor
arrow in Play mode...

for instance if I want to limit a cursor to a particular region of
the screen (in Play mode) and have the cursor jump to another point
on the screen when told

this doesn't seem to be something documented in the manual under
"messages to pd," but perhaps there's something I'm missing with
regard to the "messages to canvas"

sort of an idiosyncratic performance interface thing... thanks!

hi folks,

is there a pd command to force a cursor to a new position?

a message something like:

; cursor x_coordinate y_coordinate

for instance I can do this in Max with a Max command:

; max pupdate 400 500

thanks, shawn

I wrote an external for windowsXP (named input_event), inspired from Patrice Colet kbdstroke object. With it, you can simulate keyboard and mouse events. JYG

Hans-Christoph Steiner a écrit :

The mouse cursor is controlled by the Window Manager. People have made various attempts at making objects to control that. There is a working one for X11, donno about Windows or Mac OS X. Check the archives, I think Alexandre Quessy wrote the x11 one, its something like x11mouse.

Terrorism is not an enemy. It cannot be defeated. It's a tactic.
It's about as sensible to say we declare war on night attacks and expect we're going to win that war. We're not going to win the war on terrorism. - retired U.S. Army general, William Odom
