How to trap a mouse pointer??

I have a java graphics aplication that has already been developed. But now it requires all its mouse events to be mapped on to key events. I need to trap the mouse cursor first to assign its left,right,up and down movements. The application is no longer suppose to use any mouse event. So how do i get the pointers position at first when the application starts??

Hey I swingfreak I tried doing that as you said but it didnt work...probably I did it wrong...I dont know....If you give me an example plz. mail me at [email protected]
Thanks and Regards

  • Awesome - How to "trap" a mouse click

    I use the following code to use my mouse's side buttons for switching tags.
    However the press events are forwarded to to the client underneath which is undesirable.
    How do I "trap" the press events, if possible for specific tags only
    root.buttons(awful.util.table.join(
    awful.button({ }, 3, function () mymainmenu:toggle() end),
    awful.button({ }, 8, awful.tag.viewnext),
    awful.button({ }, 9, awful.tag.viewprev)
    Thanks.

    EDIT: I may have misunderstood - do you mean the binding works as you intended, but it also has additional undesired behavior in the client under the mouse?
    --- original, perhaps irrelevant post ---
    You want this mouse button to have that behavior when the mouse pointer is over a client window?
    I have very little experience with awesomewm, but I know my way around X, and I suspect there is no way to do this within awesome.  Suspect may be too weak a word - unless awesome specifically includes button remapping code, this is not possible like that.
    You can however remap mouse buttons through X, here is one guide that looks pretty good.  Once you remap the button in question to a "key", then you can just make a keybinding for that key.

  • How Do I Hide Mouse Pointer While Typing In Firefox

    Only in firefox, and only recently am I having problems typing anything through firefox, as the slightest touch of my laptops touch pad causes the mouse pointer to jump along with my typing cursor. This is causing major issues as I conduct all y business emails through firefox. If this cant be helped I will have to start using Internet Explorer Again. EVERY other program I use auto hides the mouse while typing, Except FF....
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Not sure, but I believe a week or so ago

    I have had the same problem despite having Hide Pointer When Typing checked in Mouse Properties. Damn annoying. I thought I finally found a solution with a free utility called "Park Cursor Aside" at http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/parkcursoraside-hide-mouse-cursor-when-typing/.
    Works great in Chrome and everywhere else EXCEPT Firefox. How about it Mozilla, are you are giving me another reason to switch over to Chrome? Please fix this. Thank you.

  • How to hide the mouse pointer

  • How to stop mouse pointer from being included on screenshots

    Hey guys I was hoping someone could help me with this problem.
    I am creating a software simulation and have decided to use Captivate 6.  When capturing the appropriate screenshots i have noticed that the mouse pointer is being included with these. I DO NOT want the mouse pointer to be included within the screenshot.
    I know how to disable the mouse pointer when setting my preferences before creaing the simulation, however, the mouse pointer is still being included in the screenshots. Here is an example below.. Can anyone help me?
    Thanks,
    Garrett
    Example: I orginally wanted to show the user's log in menu, but once I clicked "Login" the mouse pointer stuck to the screenshot. I don't want this mouse pointer to be there

    I actually chose Demo and assessment.  The mouse is not what I want to see in the slides. The timeline does not show a mouse at all because I have that functionality disabled. What I really want is to essentially replicate an application. I want the user to be able to start this captivate project from a flash drive and actually have the applications GUI with limited functionality (for training purposes). I am starting to think there is a problem with the application I am trying to replicate. I have a software product that I must start on a virtual machine. Once the virtual machine is up and running then can I actually start the application. I have already done two of these with different applications and had no problem at all with the mouse pointer disappearing. This one, however, is being very difficult. Maybe its because im using QNX?

  • Display hour glass mouse pointer

    Hi all!
    Does anyone know how to make the mouse pointer into a hour glass pointer? After clicking the "Load" button in the application, it takes a long time to display the contents. So I thought of informing the user that he has to wait for it to display the data.
    Anyone know?
    -KAren-

    try the following line when you respond to the button press:
    setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR));
    But don't forget - you need to change it back when you are done ;-) To change it back:
    setCursor(Cursor.getDefaultCursor);
    Hope that helps.

  • When a link is rolled over by the mouse pointer a very annoying pop up with the link address shows up. There seems to be no way to prevent this from happening. How can this pop up be made to go away?

    no matter what website, every time I move the mouse pointer over something to click on a line of black printing in a thin white box pops up at the bottom of the screen and shows me the http address of the item I'm about to click on. I want to shut this function off or remove it if possible. I find that the previous version did not do this, it seems to be unique to 6.0. It's VERY distracting and ANNOYING. How can I make it go away????

    When you hover the mouse cursor over any link, it will display the link details at the bottom left of the screen; black font on white background.
    This display can be very important as it shows the full address of the hyperlink. This can be particulary useful for checking on whether the link is bona-fida. For example; if you receive an email that looks like it is from a bank , hovering over the link will indicate instantly that the link is pretending to be something it isn't.
    Another example that can be useful; a website link may say 'contact me' rather than give the actual email address. However, when you hover over the link, the actual email address will be displayed at the bottom of the screen. If you click on the link then Outlook usually opens, however I do not use Outlook, so displaying the email address is useful.
    This display is something that has always been present and it is also displayed if you use IE.
    However, I can see that this annoys you, so you could try the following:
    [[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/link-location-bar/?src=api]]
    After installing the addon, you will need to restart Firefox, then go to History and Restore previous session to get all your tabs and webpages back.
    You will now find that when you hover over any link, it will now display in your address bar on the right hand side.
    If this helps, please say this question has been solved.

    I recently bought, from the original website of Adobe, Photoshop elements 13. However, when I go with my mouse pointer over the menu, It hangs or he works very slow. Does anyone have an idea how I can fix it? I have already downloaded updates, both from Adobe and Windows. I have a new pc with window 8.1.

    It could be a coincidence, but I rebooted the machine and (knock on wood) PSE13 seems to be working ok.

    If the mouse clicks something on its own then it looks like you have a hardware problem with the trackpad or possibly the battery that is right underneath the trackpad.
    I have read that the battery can swell and that would put pressure on the trackpad.

  • How do I make the mouse pointer bigger?

    How do you go about making the mouse pointer bigger on the IMAC?

    I think it is much easier for learners, but can I suggest these forums are excellent for general help.   However, do find a moment to fill in your machine details in your profile; model identifier, current OS version and RAM figure.   It's a great help to those helping you to know what machine they are needing to think about. 

  • How to hidden mouse pointer?

    When mouse moves inside Frame, how to hidden mouse pointer?
    Thanks,
    Quinten

    It depends on what you mean. If you want to make the cursor invisible, here is one way of doing it:
                ImageIcon emptyIcon = new ImageIcon(new byte[0]);
                Cursor invisibleCursor = getToolkit().createCustomCursor(
                    emptyIcon.getImage(), new Point(0,0), "Invisible");
                frame.getContentPane().setCursor(invisibleCursor);Note that even though the cursor is invisible it will still be a cursor, i.e. you can click on buttons etc.
    Or do you want to disable the cursor completely?
