Is there a SDL function that can set the cursor position? Thanks

Linky.

The only reason I am posting is to point out something that is quite often overlooked with this function:

Quote:Description:
Set the position of the mouse cursor (generates a mouse motion event).

It will generate a mouse motion event everytime! If you do not want that mouse motion event generated, you will have to do some custom event processing. (It's not that hard to figure out though)
