Disabling a mouse cursor in LV window using LV 6.1

Hi, I need to Disable/Enable the mouse cursor programatically in LV Window using LV 6.1
{Mouse cursor can be visible,but should not be activated when it is disabled).Is there any DLL's available?
Regards
Murali

You can use the EnableWindow function from user32.dll to disable all input in your front panel window. Use the FindWindow function to find the handle. I'm posting an example of this.
There's also the BlockInput function in there, for comparison, but you probably won't want to use that one because it blocks ALL input.
Try to take over the world!

Can't use mouse cursor to select windows buttons from XFCE panel

The problem is weird but the behaviour is as follow: let say I have sultiple copies of the same software (Firefox, for instance) or when the software has multiple windows (for example Pidgin main windows and its other chat windows). Wwhen I try to click on the windows button on the panel in order to navigate to the window of such software, it won't work. nothing would happen. On the other hand, Alt+Tab works for switching to the desired windows. However, if the software only has one window running (for example, only one Firefox window) then the mouse click would work.
It's a strange behaviour and I got this on both my PC which runs Arch 64 bit and my laptops with Arch.
Anyone has the same problem?

Inxsible wrote:Do you have conky running -- maybe that's covering the panel and eating up the mouse click events. Try killing conky and see if it works.
Nope, thx Inxsible but conky's not running here.
Right-click menu (minimize, maximize, etc...) works for each of the multiple entries, though.
I just tried recompiling xfce4-panel 4.8.2-1 with no apparent error message or any change in behaviour... hm...
[Edit] It seems like a bug's already been filed: http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7383

Getting the name of the window under the mouse cursor

Hello All
Is there a way to receive a window name of the window under the mouse cursor? All windows in interest are LV windows, and all of them works separatelly. After the mouse click I would like to get the window name.
The reaso nfor asking is that I have a sequence of setting of different windows. I need to create a doccumentation and I need all windows front panels send to MS Word.
I thought that my application can read the window names and by using the LVwutil32 get the front pannels of the windows and send them to MS Word.
Problem is that in the library I do not have a function like "Window on Top.vi" or something like that.
Anyways, the problem for me now is how to get an active (most top) window
name?
thanks
Pawel

Hi Pawel,
I found the following VI in my "trunk" that I made a while ago (written in LV6.0.2). It returns the active VI (and thereby) the Window name. Mayby you have some use of it, but I believe this is what you want. Only works for Windows though.

How to extract the mouse cursor image without using JNI

I want to get the image of the mouse cursor of the system using java. The Robot class captures the screen only, but the mouse icon image is not the part of the screen, so it is not easily detected. But we can get the mouse cursor position using API, but how to get the exact image icon, without using JNI. I don't want to generate my own cursor at that position.

I am building a Remote Desktop kinda app using java..... I want the screen of the remote comp to be viewed on my screen and generate events from my machine to the remote machine. So, I am capturing the screen images of the remote machine. But the cursor is not part of the screen object. i want to extract the cursor image icon from the remote machine to my machine and render the image.

Getting positon of Mouse Cursor

Hi Everyone,
Just a real quick question this time. When writing an AppleScript application does anyone know how to get the position of the mouse cursor in the window?
Cheers
Chris

applescript doesn't provide this sort of information.
AS is not a programming language, so it doesn't have an analog of every function or variable in the os. this is a good thing, because AS is so slow that if it was keeping track of the mouse, then your machine would go to its knees.
I suggest you look into bridging cocoa to AppleScript. in recent years Apple has tied AS strongly with cocoa, allowing for things like Applescript studio.

No mouse cursor during Windows 8.1 OSD

Hi,
I have a problem that is bugging me. Not really a biggie but a frustrating one.
When deploying Windows 8.1 using a MDT 2013 TS from CM12R2 the mouse cursor gets disabled when the OS reboots into minisetup/windows.
As long as the TS is in WinPE all is fine, but once rebooted the cursor goes away and comes back only when the TS completes.
The mouse is enabled as I can fool around with it and find where it is by clicking like a madman until a window gets highlighted.
Deploying different DELL workstations/laptops, all with the same symptom.
BR /T

To my knowledge this is simply because of the Z-ordering of the windows during Windows setup.
The question though is why does it matter? You shouldn't be doing anything interactive a this point in the TS.

Hp Pavilion 23 Blank Screen With Mouse Cursor After Hp Logo (Not Windows Logo)

Hello my computer wont start up all i get is a black screen but i have a mouse cursor. after a little bit the computer will restart and do a automatic repair but nothing happens it just keeps on rebooting. i tired to do a bio update but it seems to not be working. there is no option in the bios to update or even in UEFI. i also did a harddrive test and got a Short DST Check fail (FAILURE ID: 909HVX-0007K0-WPU2XF-60WH03) but i still can get access to the harddrive using a Linux LiveUSB and all files are there. (Product Number Is : H5P60AAR#ABA)

It is possible to receive a false DST check but not common.
It doesn't mean your hard has failed but that it is in imminent danger of failing.
You can try again but this time using the Extended DST test.
But before doing anything I suggest you back up all your important data using that live Linux boot disk just in case.
Every hard disk manufacturer has their own diagnostic boot cd/usb. Google it.
You should create one and run it for your brand hard drive.
You should be able to determine which brand you have from the BIOS/UEFI hardware tab.
While your'e in there double check that your boot priority is set to hard drive first.
Your other issue seems to be the dreaded 'Automatic Repair Loop' which could be caused by your possibly failing hard dirve. I would fully diagnose the hard drive first.
Here's a link with several suggested fixes. Some of them require a Windows 8 boot disk, other do not.

Windows 8.1 Charms not Showing when moving mouse cursor into corners (Hot Corners)

I'm running Windows 8.1 Update 1 and recently my charms bars no longer display if I move the mouse cursor into the corners of the screen. However, if I press the shortcuts e.g. Win-C the bars do show.
I've check under PC Settings > PC and devices > Corners and Edges and also Taskbar > properties > Navigation and in both places both of the options under 'Corner Navigation' are enabled.

Hi,
Please re-register the Windows immersive control panel to check the result:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\ImmersiveControlPanel\AppxManifest.xml
Or you can set a registry to enable charm hint:
Open registry, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell\
Under ImmersiveShell key, create a new key EdgeUI.
Now select newly created key "EdgeUI" and in right-side pane, create a new DWORD DisableCharmsHint and set its value to 0.
If all methods cannot work, try to use dism command to perform an online fix:
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Extreme mouse cursor lag when using Accessibility Zoom (Fullscreen) in Yosemite

I have a Retina MacBook Pro running OS X Yosemite (10.10), clean installed, connected to an external Thunderbolt Display. When I zoom in using Accessibility, I experience a very prominent lag, moving my mouse cursor (either with my Magic Mouse or Magic Trackpad or the built-in Trackpad) around or when zooming out. It is especially visible when zoomed in on applications like Calendar and Mail. This never happened in Mavericks. My settings are as follows.
I've tried creating a new user account on my Mac and the problem still persists, which leads me to believe it's a bug with Yosemite.
Anyone else have the same problem?

I also have the same exact problem. I have a i5 iMac Mid 2011 with an upgrade to 10.10 Yosemite connected to an external display. I like you never had this issue with Mavericks. Zoom is so painfully slow now that I had to disable it. My iMac has 12 GB of RAM and even with no apps opened, zoom is killer slow.. makes me want to punch a wall-kinda slow.
I think it's clear to say that something is up with 10.10.. some bug.
Apple please fix us zoomers

Maximum size of mouse cursor in Windows 8.1

What is the maximum size of mouse cursor in Windows 8.1?
I load cursor from 1000x1000 .png file using GDI+:
Bitmap *image = Bitmap::FromStream(pStream);
UINT w = image->GetWidth(), h = image->GetHeight();
HBITMAP bmpMask;
HBITMAP bmpColor;
image->GetHBITMAP(Color(), &bmpMask);
image->GetHBITMAP(Color(), &bmpColor);
ICONINFO iconInfo;
iconInfo.fIcon = FALSE;
iconInfo.xHotspot = 0;
iconInfo.yHotspot = 0;
iconInfo.hbmMask = bmpMask;
iconInfo.hbmColor = bmpColor;
hCursor = ::CreateIconIndirect(&iconInfo);
If it will be necessary, ask me and I'll provide full source code of application.
In Windows 7 all is OK. Cursor dimentions 1000x1000.
But there is strange thing - it scales on Windows 8.1 to 32x32 size. Enabling compatibility modes doesn't help. Is it OS limitation?
Thanks in advance for response.

probably. 1000x1000 is a large cursor size!

Firefox mouse cursor using default X11 icons

Hi
I'm a brand new Arch user and I'm extremely happy with it. I've got this one remaining nagging issue that I can't seem to find a solution for.
I'm using XFCE 4.4 and have my mouse cursor theme set to pArch-24 but when I move the mouse over a firefox window it reverts back to the small black default X11 icons. I have the gtk-qt-engine installed and any gnome or kde apps I launch use the right mouse theme so it seems to be only firefox (and gdm) where this is happening.
It's a small issue but I spend 90% of my time in firefox.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks

I once had a similar problem under SuSE 10 (but with KDE), and the following solved this:
- Copy your theme directory to /usr/share/icons/ and then choose it in the XFCE-Menu (probably you already did this)
- Now create the folder .icons under /home/username/ and copy your theme directory there as well, and also copy the default folder from /usr/share/icons/ there
- In this default folder you now have to edit the file index.theme and replace (or create) there a line that says Inherits=core with Inherits=name_of_your_icon_directory (spell it the same way, with capital and small letters)
Save this, log off, log on, maybe this solves the problem with firefox. For me it did back then.
EDIT: I just realised that there is no longer a default-folder under /usr/share/icons/
Hm, forget what I wrote, or try to create it by yourself (copy your icon directory to the name default and then edit the file). Don't know if it will work...

Showing a "Please wait..." window / Changing mouse cursor to hourglass

Can one of the following be done using javascript:
1) Show a "Please wait" window (when using synchronous SOAP requests) with the ability to "hide" it
2) Change the mouse cursor to hourglass
I went over the JS API and found nothing, any ideas?

When I'm filling in the form on a website Firefox jumps down past the next block and I have to go back using my mouse cursor

For example on Find-A-Grave when filling in the form to add a memorial there are several blocks that you fill in including location. For some blocks you type in the information and others are pick one of the preset selections. I generally hit the tab key on my keyboard and goes to the next block except when it comes to the preset selection blocks. If I use the tab key to go to the next selection it skips right past the next selection to the selection below that. For example, after I fill in the year I hit the tab key and type u for the United States under the country selection. But in order to get the next block to appear I have to hit tab again (but only when using your browser). Your browser then skips past the state selection to the county selection. Then when I pick the state using the cursor it does it again and drops down to the Bio past the county selection.
When I use Internet Explorer I don't have this problem. I merely hit the tab button on my keyboard and it goes to the next selection rather than as your browser does that is skips to the block below.
Is there some reason you have it set up this way because it is quite annoying to have to go back up each time using the mouse cursor rather than continuing to use the keyboard to fill in everything (typing, tab key or using the arrow keys). To say the least it slows the whole process down a lot. No, it is not my computer. I've had the exact same problem using another computer. No, it is not the find-a-grave website. I just used it as an example. Using your browser forces me to stop using the keyboard to fill in a form and use the mouse and then the keyboard and then the mouse and then the keyboard and then the mouse, etc when it shouldn't be necessary when filling out a form on a website.

Are you having the problem with just the one site? Others?
Please post some public linkss.
Start '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web Link} by holding down the '''<Shift><br> ''(Mac Options)'' ''' key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

Windows Vista and Windows 7 Only Boots to a black screen with a mouse cursor

Windows Vista and Windows 7 Only Boots to a black screen with a mouse cursor after I installed Mcafee Internet Security.
Hi I installed 1of 3 McAfee Internet Security protections on my HP laptop a few weeks ago with no issues. I Have a Dell XPS 420 desk top with Windows Vista operating
system, it’s never had any issues, until 2 nights ago I installed McAfee Internet Security (detected incompatible files and will remove) pc now only boots up to a black screen with a mouse cursor, it will show the windows logo and a hash symbol floating around
the screen. Now 2 weeks ago I installed the same program on my Dell all in one desk top with Windows 7, the same issue happen but that pc has no screen activity, I tried a back to factory reboot on this one, still black screen.

Hi,
Please install the compatible version of McAfee Internet Security:

if you have startup issue, you can boot into Safe Mode to uninstall the problematic software to go back into Windows.
