Mouse Object Question

[Digitalic]

I think with the Cursor Object you loose clicking on object capability.Marv

I must admit that I have never used the cursor object in my applications (I follow the MouseX,Y); I just knew that it was there.

However, I just tested it and it seems to work fine including on an object.

OK you guys must be confused. I have used the cursor object and it works very well because it allows for the user to have a mouse trail and clicking works fine. It works MUCH MUCH better than using an active object and hiding the windows mouse for many reasons. I highly recoomend using the cursor object and NOT the active object work around.

No, just a different opinion than yours.

Like Marv said.

The only problem I have with my own object as a mouse arrow is that it seems to go behind other objects. I even have brought objects to the front or back and it still seems to do that. Also I know when I go click on the Close X button at the top it disappears and you have to guess where to close it. I did make a quit game text where you click that and it ends application.

Only other problem I am having now is creating a mouse over on/off when the mouse goes over a string text it changes and when you move your mouse off it goes back. I did this once before, but for the life of me I can not remember.

The thing is, you get none of the problems using the cursor object.

How do you do all of this stuff?

[Stephen]

What?

[Degamer]

how do you make a cursor that works because mine will just go under the button

[Stephen]

That is the fault of MS's crappy window controls. Make your own custom buttons.
