How to move mouse cursor

Hello
does anybody know how to move the mosecursor with lab view code. If anybody
have some vi's that take care of this I would be most grateful
Regards
Stian Langeland

For the Win32 case, there's an example available that does this very thing:
http://digital.ni.com/explprog.nsf/websearch/c33e65e20b23f3e4862565ec004d67ec
I searched the National Instruments Example Programs Database
(http://www.ni.com/support/epd/) for "mouse" in order to turn this up.

Automatically move mouse pointer to the default button.PNG ‏34 KB

Dear partha,
1) You can be able to trace out the location of the button
2) You can be able to move the cursor to that location
3) You can be able to automatically generate a click on that button
Use user32.dll to achieve all this. when u use it in CLN(Call Library Node), u can c functions 4 that.
Try and ask if further help needed!!!!!

How to change mouse cursor during drag and drop

Hi Guys,
Iam performing a Drag and drop from Table1(on top of the figure) to Table2(down in the figure).
see attached figure
http://www.upload-images.net/imagen/e80060d9d3.jpg
Have implemented the Drag and drop functionality using "Transferable" and "TransferHandler"using the java tutorial
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/examples/dnd/index.html#ExtendedDndDemo
Now My problem is that ,I want to make the 1st column in Table2(ie: Column2-0) not to accept any drops so that the cursor appears like a "No-Drop" cursor but with selection on the column cell during a drop action.
Also when I move my cursor between "column2-0" and "column2-1",want to to have the "No-Drop" and "Drop" cursor to appear depending on the column.
How can I achieve it using the TransferHandle class.Dont want to go the AWT way of implementing all the source and target listeners on my own.
Have overridded the "CanImort" as follows:
public boolean canImport(JComponent c, DataFlavor[] flavors) {
     JTable table = (JTable)c;
Point p = table.getMousePosition();
/* if(p==null)
     return false;
int selColIndex = table.columnAtPoint(p);
if(selColIndex==0)
     return false;*/
If I execute the above commented code,The "No-Drop" Icon appears in "column2-0",but no cell selection.Also If I move to "column2-1",which is the 1st column,Still get the "No-Drop" Icon there,also with no cell selection.
for (int i = 0; i < flavors.length; i++) {
if ((DataFlavor.stringFlavor.equals(flavors))) {
return true;
return false;
Thanks in advance.....

If you found the selection column based on the mouse pointer, then based on the column, you can set the cursor pointer as any one as below :
setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR));
setCursor(new Cursor(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR));

How to identify mouse cursor image?

I am doing some testing in java- everything else so far is working, but I can't find out how to.. find which image the mouse pointer is. I need to be able to tell when a mouse cursor goes over a link and displays the right cursor. It switches between the default arrow, the little hand for links, and a custom cursor, but I don't know how to retrieve that information.
Any ideas?
At first I was going to just use screenshots- but cannot capture mouse cursor/icon that way, and this way would work better.
Thanks!

That would make sense, but I haven't found any functions on "get the cursor for the component", or of anything related to getting the cursor.
I was going to use the robot to move to two specified points on the screen, but then I still have the issue of somehow retrieving any information about the cursor(aside from position/clicks). Would you know offhand which package/function(method) would have it? That one only showed stuff related to movement/events, no cursor information besides position/clicks.
Thanks!

How to replace mouse cursor.

How would you replace the mouse cursor in ActionScript 3? I mean with like a movie clip or a graphic within Flash. Thanks. Code prefered.

You would need to use a movieclip so that you can assign an instance name to it... here I use cursorMC as the instance name:
Mouse.hide();
function followMouse(evt:MouseEvent): void{
cursorMC.x = mouseX;
cursorMC.y = mouseY;
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, followMouse);

How to move the cursor in a text input programatically

Hi,
I am using a TextInput field and a my own keyboard UI with buttons for each alphabet.
When the user presses buttons on the keyboard UI, i populate the TextInput field through data binding.
But I would want the cursor to move as the characters are entered in the field at the same time.
So, how do I move the cursor using actionscript code?
thanks,
Sunil

In that case you need to programmatically insert the text at the selection point. You get the selection point using the selectionBeginIndex and selectionEndIndex properties. I have an app where I do that, using this code:
// textInput is the name of the TextInput control
private function insertTextAtSelection(text:String):void
     var start:int = textInput.selectionBeginIndex;
     var end:int = textInput.selectionEndIndex;
     var hasSelection:Boolean = start != end;
      textInput.text = textInput.text.substring(0, start) + text + textInput.text.substring(end);
     if (hasSelection)
         textInput.selectionBeginIndex = start;
         textInput.selectionEndIndex = start + text.length;
     else
         textInput.selectionBeginIndex = textInput.selectionEndIndex = end + text.length;
This is what the code does:
gets the starting and ending positions of the insertion point (in case the user has an active selection rather than just an insertion point).
concatenates the old text with the new text and writes it into the text input
restores the user's previous selection or insertion point (In this case I'm setting the selectionBeginIndex and selectionEndIndex properties rather than calling setSelection(), but the end result is the same.)

How to move the cursor to a text field

Hello,
I have a log in window with Username (Text field) and password (Secure Text field). The 'Log In' button is not enabled if I use the Set command. So I wish to use the Keystroke.
But I need to make sure that Cursor is in the text field and then to keystroke. So how can I move the cursor to the required text filed?
Note:
+Why the cursor is not blinking in the text field where I just 'SET' (command)+
+the value?+

Well, for a start you can identify the application you're working in. That's kind of important.
In most cases you can just emulate a press of the tab key but it's kind of a crude a approach (there's no guarantee that you're in the field you expect). Certain applications, though, may have better ways of achieving it, but since we don't know what application you're using we can't say if that's the case here.

How to move the cursor with keyboard

Is there a way to move the cursor with the keyboard? My right forearm is hurting prob because of extended use of the mouse.

While in the 'Finder' click on 'Help' in the upper menu bar....enter 'Mouse Keys' and then select 'Controlling the pointer with the numeric keypad'....only problem I can see is the MacBook doesn't have a numeric keypad...so you would need an full size external keyboard....tried it on my iMac and it works OK...

create a gif (using PaintShop Pro or something) which has nothing in it or if that can't be done as few pixels as possible. I created mine in c:\tmp\blank.gif for the program below
import java.awt.*;

import java.net.*;
public class ViewCursor
extends JFrame
public ViewCursor()
throws Exception
Cursor myCursor = null;
try
ImageIcon ii = new ImageIcon(new URL("file:C:/tmp/blank.gif"));
Image im = ii.getImage();
Toolkit tk = getToolkit();
myCursor = tk.createCustomCursor(im, new Point(0,0), "MyCursor");
catch (Exception e)
System.out.println("myCursor creation failed " + e);
getContentPane().setLayout(new FlowLayout());
JPanel p1 = new JPanel();
JPanel p2 = new JPanel();
JButton b1 = new JButton("one");
JButton b2 = new JButton("two");
p1.add(b1);
p2.add(b2);
p1.setCursor(myCursor); // set panel 1 to have the customised cursor
getContentPane().add(p1);
getContentPane().add(p2);
public static void main(String[] args)
throws Exception
ViewCursor v = new ViewCursor();
v.setSize(200, 200);
v.setVisible(true);
when you run this, the cursor disappears when its over p1 / b1

X300: TrackPad will not move mouse cursor for several seconds after clicking any TrackPoint button

I have a new X300 with a clean install of Windows XP (SP3) and all of the latest drivers from the Lenovo website. Whenever I click any of the three TrackPoint buttons, the TrackPad is not able move the mouse cursor for about 2 seconds. During this time, I can still move the cursor with the TrackPoint. I did not experience this behavior with my previous laptop, which was a ThinkPad T42 running Windows XP (SP2).
Thanks for any suggestions!

I once installed XP using my great Unattended-selfmade-fullypatched-etc-DVDs (I call it Windows XP Ready to Go Edition) on my X300 and had zero problems. This is also based on SP3.
Perhaps the order of installing servicepack and several drivers is important.
I start off with an SP3-integrated installationof Windows XP, patch it fully first and then go on with driver updates (Chipset first, then ACPI, LAN, WLAN, Sound, Graphics, Input devices.
At least its possible to get it working flawlessly, my Installation proved that.
I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND INSTALLING SP3 AS AN UPDATE, ONLY START FROM SCRATCH USING AN SP3-INTEGRATED SETUP.

Cannot show dock or use hot corners when using CGEvent to move mouse cursor

I have the following code:
NSPoint mouseWarpLocation = NSMakePoint(mouseX, mouseY);
CGEventSourceRef evsrc = CGEventSourceCreate(kCGEventSourceStateCombinedSessionState);
CGEventSourceSetLocalEventsSuppressionInterval(evsrc, 0.0);
CGWarpMouseCursorPosition(mouseWarpLocation);
This code allows me to move the cursor to a new set of coordinates mouseX and mouseY. It works fine and I can move the cursor around, but even if the cursor is moved to where the hidden dock is the dock does not appear. Also even if the cursor is move to one of the corners say (0, 0), the hot corner action I have set is not invoked. I am confused as to why this is so because I thought that things like hot corners use the cursor's position to see if it need to do something. Any advice is appreciated.

The university requires all computers to have anti-virus software and recently switched to Sophos from Symantec, in July I believe. That was a new software install. Since it just works in the background and I never actually access it, I had forgotten about that. I hope that is not the problem, as I am required to have antivirus software.
And no I have not created a new user to log in. It is erratic enough that I don't know how long would have to be on to see if the problem recreated itself. Sometimes it seems like just minutes after I start the computer up and sometimes hours. Right now it is still working since starting this morning.

How To Change Mouse Cursor Icon To Hand And Click Middle Of Player To Pause In Strobe Media Playback

Hello,
Thank you for providing a platform where uses can pose questions to Adobe employees. This certainly helps us all cut right through it.
Similar to YouTube's player (as well as many others), I was wondering if it is currently possible for users to enable functionality on Strobe Media Playback to change the mouse cursor to a hand/point cursor upon hovering over Strobe Media Playback's buttons (such as pause, the volume controls and that initial large centered middle play button),
And, whether or not it is currently possible to enable functionality to pause/play videos merely by clicking the middle of the video screen (within the normal view mode as well as the full screen mode). Again, with YouTube, Vimeo, JW Player, and many others, such functionality is currently built-in by default.
I look forward to any advice you are able to provide. Thanks again for providing this discussion platform for users.
- C.R.

Hi, thank you for your suggestions and for the interest in our player.
The full area click issue is an older one, tracked at http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/ST-156 . Unfortunately, it will not be fixed in this release.
The hand cursor issue is now tracked at http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/ST-331 - thanks for suggesting it!
