How to set the position of mouse?

[Krisse]

For example:

When enter button is pressed
-
Set mouse position to: x200 y300

Is there a object in mmf2? If i need an extension, gimme a link.

Mouse object does that. Unfortunately cannot remember is it part of bonus packs or does it need an individual download, but do a search and you'll find a source.

The mouse object is in the Bonus Pack 2 but I can't get it to work right. I am asking around to see if there is another one around or can be made.

The Kernal object for MMF2 Dev has some mouse moving functions also, but I believe its based off the cordinates of the whole screen - Not just the MMF2 frame so maybe the cellosoft mouse is the same as this.

The Big Box extension also has these functions.

Try the extension list to download them

The Mouse Object uses the actual position of the mouse on the screen as a whole, but if you use it with the Window Control Object you can offset it to your window by using something like:

Set Actual Mouse X to WinXPos("Window Control")+ offset1
Set Actual Mouse Y to WinYPos("Window Control")+ offset2

where offset1 and offset2 add to the top-left corner of your app window.

Of course, you'll need to use trial and error depending on whether you have a window title bar and a menu bar, but once you find the 0,0 for the internal area of your app window, it works perfectly.

That's only if there isn't a mouse control out there that does it all for you (I don't know, haven't checked).

You can do it with only the mouse object too
Something like
Set Actual Mouse X to Get Actual Mouse X("Mouse Object") - Xmouse + Offset
Set Actual Mouse Y to Get Actual Mouse Y("Mouse Object") - Ymouse + Offset

DO NOT do it this way! The title bar and menu bar are going to be different sizes on different operating systems and themes.

Good call!
