Locking mouse on one screen [solved]
Author
Hi,
I'm developing a DirectX full-screen application.
I want to avoid that the mouse leaves the primary screen on dual-screen configuration.
I tried to use the WM_MOUSELEAVE event to force the mouse position at application edges when the mouse goes out, but it is not satisfactory, as I can see the cursor being "caught back" to the main screen.
Also, this make impossible to ALT-TAB/minimize the application.
Any idea ?
Thanks,
K.
Try ClipCursor:

I don't want to prevent alt+tab etc !
This was a side effect of my first try with WM_MOUSELEAVE.
ClipCursor works perfectly.
