Controlling the Windows cursor?

Hi,
I have a motion capture system, which I can read coordinates of markers from using LabVIEW 2009. I'd like to use that to control the Windows cursor (for a bit of fun). I've had a quick play with ActiveX and .NET, but I am no expert. How should best proceed?
Would LabVIEW need to provide coordinates to every application opened? For example Word, Excel etc., or would writing coordinates to the windows cursor be suficient? 
In the absence of a motion capture system, a test program that records and plays back the movements of a mouse would be great! .. anyone? :-)

  • How can I control the window size of my output?

    Hi,
    I'm drawing a blank... How do I control the size of the window that my project is viewed in? Right now, it's the entire browser window.
    Thanks,
    Janice

    Hi,
    From your post, I assume you are creating WebHelp output.
    You  need to create a window for the help in the Project Set-up pod. Then,  you need to make sure you call the output so that the window is used.  See http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/calling_webhelp/calling_webhelp.htm.  This article on Peter's site give you an overview over the  possibilities of calling context sensitivive webhelp and also tells you  how to specify the needed window. Also, the installation directory of  RoboHelp 8 contains a directory called CSH API. In there are example  API's your developer can use to call the help.

  • How to control the window size of default message error

    I have a form with many fields. (inputText)
    These fields are marked with tag required="true"
    When the user try to submit the form, the adf faces show a validation window displaying the label of the inputTexts and one message like this "This field are required".
    The problem is that i have an inputText that have a large label and the window is showing with scrollbars and the layout is not good.
    How can i control the layout of this default window ?
    Thanks

    At the moment I don't believe this to be fixable. From (maybe limited) investigation, we've been unable to discover a skin class to fix this.

  • How can I control the windows behavior when the user hits "Windows key +d"?

    Hi,
    I have an application with 2 top-level windows. Both windows may be open at the same time. One window is a win32 window, and the other is a wpf window. When both windows are open, the wpf window should always be before the win32 window. When the user hits
    "Windows key +d" twice (show desktop and restore all windows), the windows are occasionally restored in a different order.
    How can I force the wpf window to always be before the win32 window?
    Which Windows messages/events are sent when the desktop is restored?
    Yoel

    Hi,
    I tried set the Topmost property on the Wpf window. It didn't help - for some reason, the win32 window still get in front of the Wpf window.
    I was able to get some win32 messages that change the win32 window position. I tried then to bring the Wpf window to the front (using SetActiveWindow, SetForegroundWindow, SetWindowPos) but i does not work as expected.

    Hi Yoelp,
    >> tried set the Topmost property on the Wpf window. It didn't help - for some reason, the win32 window still get in front of the Wpf window.
    It worked well on my side, could you please tell us more details about these two window? What have you done on the WIn32 Window? We need to know the reason

  • Popup image works fine but how to control the window size

    Hello folks,
    I use
    <img title="Click to pop up large image" src="#OWNER#.view_my_file_form?p_file=#IMGID#" width="40" height="30" />
    to popup a image window. It works just fine. How can I set the popup image window size? The window is too big but the image is too samll.
    Many thanks.
    Mickey

    The popupURL function is defined as
    function popupURL(url)
    w = open(url,"winLov","Scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=800,height=600");
    if (w.opener == null) w.opener = self;
    w.focus();
    If 800x600 is too big for you, write your own mypopupURL function with whatever size you want

  • How to post the data to a new window and control the new window's property?

    When we submit the form data to another page, we usually do the following:
    <form action="display.jsp" method="post"> will submit the form data and open
    display.jsp in the current browser
    <form action="display.jsp" method="post" target="_blank"> will submit the form data
    and open display.jsp in a new browser
    Now, what I want is to open display.jsp in a new browser, but control the window's size,
    and disable the status bar, title bar, and address bar of a new browser.
    If I do this, it can only open a html page, but not post the data to display.jsp.
    window.open('display.jsp', "newWin", "scrollbars=0,menubar=0,toolbar=0,location=0,status=0");
    any ideas? thanks!!

    <html>
    <head>

    <script language="JavaScript">
        function doSubmit() {
           displayWindow = window.open('', "newWin", "scrollbars=0,menubar=0,toolbar=0,location=0,status=0");
           document.submitForm.submit();

  • Is it possible to controll the positioning of a new window when someone clicks  one of my links

    I was wondering if it was possible to control the positoning of a new window that pops up  when someone clicks one of my site document links on my dreamweaver site. When a link is clicked and the new window pops up, I'd like to control the window size and positioning of the new window. Is this possible without having to use a tooltip or other option?

    Some browsers will display pop-up windows in the parent window, some will open them in a new tab or new window.  I'm afraid there is nothing you can do about end user settings.

  • Unexpected Windows cursor/Waveform Graph cursor behavior

    Hi,
    I got a very strange Windows cursor behavior with waveform graph. Simplified VI is attached.
    LabVIEW 2014 SP1
    The problem is:
    The VI contains only one waveform graph.
    1. I start the VI. Cursor Movement Tool is selected in the Graph Palette by default. Corresponding “Cross with dot” Windows cursor appears when mouse is moved over the plot area (see image). So far so good.
    2. I select Zoom in the Graph Palette and use it two-five times (second image).
    3. I select Cursor Movement Tool in the Graph Palette again but Windows cursor does not change as it should. It is an open cross now (third image); i.e. the same as shall appear when cross of Graph Cursor Lines is reached.
    4. I click mouse three-seven times anywhere in the plot area and the cursor becomes normal (as in the first image).
    The problem is not only in shape of the Windows cursor. The whole Graph cursor functionality does not work properly if the Windows cursor has the wrong shape.
    Please advise what could cause this problem.

    It seems, i cannot explain the question in good way
    It is not about my data or zooming. It is about strange bahaviour of the Graph. The following sequence of steps illustrates the problem and shows that the zooming is not the issue (or, at least, not the main issue):
    I do the following:
    1. Start the VI.
    2. Select first Graph cursor in Corsor palette and use pop-up menu "Bring to Center".
    3. Zoom couple of times (not too much) keeping the Grapg cursor visible.
    4. Select Cursor Movement Tool in the Graph Palette.
    5. "Open cross" Windows cursor appears from the beginning. I cannot pick up the Graph cursor.
    6. Click left button of the mouse several times in any poin of the graph area.
    7. Windows cursor is changed to the normal "cross with central point".
    8 Now I can pick up the Graph cursor.
    I would suspect problems with zoom until p.5. However p.6-8 are done without any change of the zoom.
    By the way, I found more:
    If I try to move the Graph cursor after p.5, the whole graph moves and fires event "Scale Range Change". It must not happen with Cursor Movement Tool selected.
    I can guess only about some strange setting of the graph. May be I am not aware about them

  • Where is the window border stored?

    If you open a finder or system prefs window, or even the top of an app like firefox,
    you have that ugly gray border where the search bar and window-resize buttons are.
    I just want to know where the resource for it is.
    I know it should be in disk Library or Core but I don't really know where to find it.
    I have 10.8 not that it matters.
    If it's just an image resource then I only want to darken it, that's all.
    I assume I'll get no help but I just want to try anyway.

    Hi,
    The header/title bar as you call it will be inside the app package for third party apps like Firefox.
    Mine in Firefox is actually themed and not grey.
    Similarly Apple Apps will have a NIB item that controls the windowing and title bars.
    I would expect as you suggest that these will be in Hard Drive Name/System/Library/Core Services somewhere.
    But it is just as likely they are stored in one of the invisible folders

  • A free way to control a windows PC from a Mac

    Hi all,
    My folks live a few hundred miles away, and I often need to help them with something on their Windows laptop. (Don't worry - their next machine will definitely be a Mac, now that they have played with my iMac!)
    I would like to be able to remotely control their machine from my Mac (similar to how this is achieved where I work using WinVNC)
    Ideally this software would be free, or a few dollars. Again, needs to be able to install on the Mac to control the windows PC. It will never need to operate in the other direction (i.e. they won't need to control my machine!)
    Can anyone help? I would be v grateful for the saved 'over the phone' support, and my parents would definitely appreciate it!!!
    Cheers, Chris

    The PC must be running Windows XP or Vista, and have Remote Assistance turned on. See:
    http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/mobility/getstarted/remoteintro.mspx
    In their router (if any), port 3389 will need to be open and forwarded to the PC's internal IP address. See:

  • Can you control the OS Volume from Flash

    hi guys, Can you control the master windows OS volume from
    within flash.
    My understanding is that within the soundobject.volume, 100
    mean 100% of the current windows volume setting.
    Can control the windows setting seperatly as well (the same
    way you could/can in Director)?
    Rich

    Yes - the JavaScript that's in export.js was rolled into inline code in the Java jar files sometime during version 11.5.
    It's no longer customizable.
    An option is to use HTTP Filter on your Java Web App to modify the outgoing JavaScript instream, but that's never a pretty solution.

  • How does one use JavaScript with the Windows Media Player Plugin?

    Hi there.
    According to this old [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd564570%28v=VS.85%29.aspx MSDN Article] it is possible to control the windows media player plugin using javascript.
    It provides a series of objects off the object that should perform certain funtions, such as play stop and seek.
    It states very clearly in the article that some are not supported; however, none of them seem to be working with the latest version(s?) of Firefox.
    I have Firefox 5 installed currently and have not tested in any other version, so I'm not sure when it stopped working.
    The video does load and will display properly -- the ability to control it through javascript however, does not work.
    i.e.:
    var mplay = document.getElementById('myplayer');
    mplay.controls.play(); // mplay.controls is undefined
    This same code works in Internet Explorer.

    You need to place the URL in a data attribute for Firefox.
    <pre><nowiki>document.write(' <OBJECT id="Player" data="http://87.117.197.189:16229" width="320" height="45" type="application/x-ms-wmp">');
    document.write(' <param name="AudioStream" value="true">');
    document.write(' <param name="Enabled" value="True">');
    document.write(' <param name="ClickToPlay" value="false">');
    document.write(' <param name="BufferingTime" value="5">');
    document.write(' <param name="ShowDisplay" value="False">');
    document.write(' <param name="Volume" value="70">');
    document.write(' <param name="autoStart" value="true">');
    document.write(' </OBJECT>');</nowiki></pre>

  • On a certain website the window size has become so huge I cannot use certain features and am unable to reduce the window size myself. It went huge as I was moving the cursor and I have been unable to ajust this. How do I alter screen size manually?

    Sometimes when moving the cursor the window size on certain sites reduces or increases. This happens randomly and I am not able to make it happen to change the size of the screen to my choice. The window on a particular site is now so huge I am unable to use features on there as they do not come into view on my window at all. Please help me on how to control this feature or in other words how do I increase or decrease the window size manually.

  • Controlling the size of the popup window when using target

    Using the anchor tag and the target attribute (<a
    target="_blank"...>), how does one control the size of the new
    window? Or is this not possible? Thanks!

    use javascript. if you want to put it in <a> tag, then
    you can do it this way:
    assuming your page is index.cfm, then:
    <a href="index.cfm" target="_blank"
    onclick="window.open('complete
    URL','name_of_window_to_open','width=100,height=50')">test
    link</a>
    OR use other tags such as
    <span style="cursor:pointer"
    onclick="window.open('complete
    URL','name_of_window_to_open','width=100,height=50')">test
    link</span >
