Greets all: TMouse seems to only with within the scope of a Form. I know this must be wrong... I think. I need a way to set the position of the mouse (X/Y) as well as read (get) it... Can someone please tell me what to take a look at. Thanks all - Esp Teamb. Laterz. Back to top Thomas Maeder [TeamB] Guest Posted: Sun May 06, 2007 8:10 am    Post subject: Re: Mouse routines. This newsgroup is about the C++ programming language, while your question looks like it is about using a VCL component.

HTH, Bruce Back to top Matthew Guest Posted: Mon May 07, 2007 12:21 am    Post subject: Re: Mouse routines - not VCL Bruce said: Quote: Look up the function 'SetCapture()'. At first I thought TMouse was something it isn't - I need to be able to acquire the XY of the mouse cursor (as well as set it) for any application. And from what I can tell TMouse only works with the current form. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I think what I'm looking for are WIN API functions - you wouldn't happen to have an API example that deals with the mouse XY would you? Thanks. Matthew.

Use SetWindowsHookEx() Google the .nativeapi group for example code Back to top Matthew Guest Posted: Mon May 07, 2007 8:04 am    Post subject: Re: Mouse routines - not VCL Bob Gonder wrote: Quote: Use SetWindowsHookEx() Google the .nativeapi group for example code Thank you very much Bob.
