Manually shift mouse position

During a drag/drop operation, I want to do some calculation
if the user pauses for a 1/2 second and potentially reposition the
drag proxy object relative to the mouse or perhaps just move the
mouse location. Essentially a “snap to grid” type
thing. I've captured the pausing with a timer event but I need to
do the repositioning. Does anyone know if there is there a way to
do one of the following?
1) Shift the offset of the proxy image on the fly?
2) Shift the actual mouse position on the fly which will also
shift the proxy image?
I'd prefer the 1st option but the 2nd would work too.
Thanks very much in advance!

I'm sure there's somebody out there who would know better
than I do, but in lieu of that, my guesses for you:
1) No - I don't think so, though you could implement the
drag/drop functionality yourself and have full control.
2) I really doubt it, since the position of the mouse is
courtesy of the operating system.

  • Convert mouse position to image position

    Using a zoomed IMAQ image in an image control, I want to recover the position of the mouse in the co-ords of the underlying image. LastMousePositionX (and Y) give the info I want but they are one click in the past and not the current position. Amazingly, there doesn't appear to be an equivalent CurrentMousePositionX. I can't seem to find the info I need to do the conversion manually. The mousedown event returns the current mouse position and I can get the position in the image container by subtracting off its left and top position. But to convert this to the image position I need to know both the zoom and where the images origin is relative to what is displayed. I can't seem to find that origin position in the list of property nodes. The only thing I can seem to come up with is to extract the info from teh image information string, but this seems like an incredibly poor way to extract such obvious information - espeically since the info must be calculated to put in the string anyway. Can anyone help with this?

    Hi,
    I am confused why you get the mouse position one click in the past because it seems to work ok for me. I've had to use four of the image properties to recreate the effect using the mousemove event, but this seems to give the same values as the Last Mouse Position property so I think it does what you want. I couldn't see an origin property so I did the conversion using the position given at the image center. I wanted to post a snippet here but I'm new to posting and couldn't seem to get it to work for the whole block diagram, so I'm using a screenshot instead. I hope this helps in some way.

  • Mouse position gets reset randomly from slide to slide

    Hi,
    I have a software demo that I'm working on (Captivate 5). From slide to slide, usually Captivate uses the start position of the mouse based on the end position of the mouse on the previous slide. But sometimes it seems to lose that position, and starts the mouse at the top left of the screen. Is there any way to change that starting position, or fix this little bug?
    Thanks,
    Joel

    I'm having a similar problem.  I've found that my mouse position changes to top left on all slides immediately following a FMR slide.  I've tried to manually reposition the mouse origin by drag-and-drop and right-click/align to..., but neither work.
    I've installed the 12/10 patch.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

  • How can i open a link in new window (shift + Mouse Click) while not switching to the new window

    I want to open a new window (shift + Mouse Click) while not switching to the newly opened window. The focus should remain on the window from where i have opened the link.

    You can do that with tabs, but not with windows AFAIK.

  • How do I select all instances of a clip in the timeline at once without manually shift clicking each instance?

    Title says it all!
    How do I select all instances of a clip in the timeline at once without manually shift+clicking each instance?
    The reason I want to do this is because I have a music video with MANY quick cuts. So clips are cut up and splattered all over the place. I am colour-correcting now and so I want to be able to select one clip everywhere it exists in the timeline so I can drag the effect onto all them at once, without having to find each instance of the clip in the timeline. This "batch select" would make it so I don't miss any instances of the clip and also saves a ton of time going through the timeline and shift clicking each time the clip turns up.
    I hope PP is smart enough to do this
    Thanks in advance!
    -- Tim

    Pick one instance of the clip, maybe even the first bit ... and use the new Master Clip feature ... here's first a written explanation and then a video tutorial on doing this ... it's a great feature.

    Hi Frank.
    Thanks for the response.
    Agreed, the pertinent question is why can't my colleague edit the JPG exported by Aperture. It's probably also worth pointing out, the same problem occurs with JPGs exported from iPhoto.
    The Windows software usually plays nicely with JPGs by all acounts, just not the ones I send - which I do via eMail or my public space on Mobile Me incidently.
    So, another key question is: all settings being equal (color profile, quality, etc.) are the JPGs as produced by iPhoto and Aperture indistinguishable from those produced by other apps on other platforms - i.e. does the use of JPG enforce a common standard?
    If that is the case, I suspect ours might be a permissions issue.
    According to the Microsoft support page on editing in Windows Live Photo Gallery, the inability to edit a picture is commonly caused by unsupported file type, or read-only attribute set on the file.
    Unfortunately, he and I are not in the same place, and he's not particularly au-fait with this type of problem solving. Hence, before involving him, I'd like to know:
    1. it's possible (i.e. someone else does it), and,
    2. what's involved (at my end and/or his).
    Thanks again,
    PB

  • System not sensing mouse position

    Starting today, my computer (iMac G5 PPC) no longer senses the position of my mouse pointer. For instance:
    - The dock doesn't magnify when the mouse is in it
    - None of the corners activate things like screensaver, expose, desktop
    - When I select a menu in the menu bar, moving the mouse over another menu item doesn't open that menu.
    In other words, OSX simply has no clue where my mouse pointer is located as I move it for all those neat automatic things. Yet, I can still use the mouse to click on items to make them work, then OSX knows where the mouse is.
    I've rebooted several times to no effect, but did notice something. As apps start up, the instant a window opens, OSX will sense the mouse position for that brief moment. For example, putting the mouse over the dock doesn't magnify, but when an app window appears, the dock will magnify that very instance. Moving the mouse out of the dock area doesn't unmagnify the dock, it's stuck in that state until either another window opens, causing OSX to sense the new position, or I click any mouse button which all gets OSX's attention and senses the mouse position.
    The pointer never changes when I'm over things like Links.
    Strange stuff. The mouse moves fine, it's just not being detected as it moves.
    Now, yesterday I installed a new ScanSnap scanner with the ScanSnap Manager software and Acrobat Standard ver. 7. But the mouse didn't have this behavior yesterday, or even this morning. This strange problem just appeared out of the blue mid-day today.
    I've since used Disk Utility and Onyx, and re-installed the 10.4.9 update. I switched to another user account, no difference, so it's definitely system wide.
    This doesn't stop me from using my iMac, but I just don't know how to fix this mouse issue besides a OSX re-install.

    Ok everybody, I finally got proper behavior, it's just too bad I'm not sure of the procedure.
    When I go to bed I usually run the mouse pointer to the upper left corner to activate the screensaver. Of course it didn't work. But I also knew that clicking a button causes the mouse to be sensed, so I was pushing some of the buttons while in the corner to see if I could get the screensaver going.
    Well, after doing this, everything is back to normal operation again. So, I fixed it totally by accident. Makes me wonder if there's some features that are turned on and off somehow by doing whatever it was I did up in that corner.
    Just so you know, I use a Logitech Cordless Optical Trackman. I swapped to the original Apple corded mouse but that made no difference.
    I never had a chance to try the suggestions since I just read them before posting this.
    Anyway, I hope I don't do again whatever it was that caused the behavior, but I am going to store this info in DEVONthink just in case something like this happens again.
    Anyway, it would still be interesting if someone could shed some light on this fix I accidently found. Perhaps some hidden capabilities/features? Or just dumb luck?

  • MAC OS X + stage.fullScreenSourceRect + renderMode set to GPU = problem with mouse position

    When setting stage.fullScreenSourceRect, stage.displayState to StageDisplayState.FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE; and renderMode to GPU, mouse position is read incorrectly. This is not only for mouseX and mouseY position, but also all the mouse interactions with Sprites, Buttons etc are not working correctly.

  • Hwo to "track the mouse position"

    I m a java newbie, and need to write a small program to track the mouse position.
    basically, it opens a small window, and tell you the current mouse x, y coordinate. when mouse moves, hte x, y changes...

  • Mouse position capturing

    I was wondering if there is a way to capture the mouse position w/o the use of a frame or jframe? I already know how to use the MouseListener on the JFrame/Frame, but that is no help to me since I'm not using a frame at all. Any suggestions????

    What is your goal. This will work -- (the window is 1 pixel!) -- because the robot starts a "drag" and
    swing has mouse capture during drag, but as soon as the use clicks, it's over...
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class X {

            cp.addMouseMotionListener(new MouseMotionListener() {
                public void mouseDragged(MouseEvent e) {
                       System.out.println(e.getPoint());
                public void mouseMoved(MouseEvent e) {
            w.setBounds(new Rectangle(0,0,1,1));

  • Detect Mouse Position?

    I can't (within actionscript 3) determine where the mouse is
    relative to the flash player window.
    I can get stage.mouseX and stage.mouseY but those coordinates
    are in relation to the size of the entire ORIGINAL stage at compile
    time.
    I need to know where the mouse is in relation to the window
    playing the swf, which is significantly smaller than the original.
    That is the play screen has been resized.
    If I zoom way in and scroll to the right edge of the stage
    and mouseover a spot on the right edge, then trace the mouse
    position (in a mouseover event proc) it shows me a number that is
    the width of the ORIGINAL stage. It seems to be completely
    oblivious to the play window.
    Is there any way at all to determine where the mouse is
    relative to the play window?
    For example,
    if the original stage is 1350 and the play window is 540 and
    I'm zoomed WAY in and scrolled all the way to the right and
    I put the mouse directly in the middle of the window,
    I need something that tells me (in actionscript 3) that the
    mouse's x coordinate is at 270, NOT 12XX (somewhere near the end of
    the orginal size of the stage).
    Is this possible in Flash C3??

    Hi there!
    I don´t know if it´s right but have you tried
    localX
    localY
    from the occuring MouseEvent?
    Hope that helps :)

  • Get mouse position during Custom UI Draw event?

    I am building a Custom UI for one of my plugin effect.
    I want to get the mouse position during the Custom UI Draw event (PF_Event_DRAW), but cannot manage to get it.
    From what I understand, it seems we can only get the mouse position during the events PF_Event_DRAG, PF_Event_DO_CLICK, and PF_Event_ADJUST_CURSOR.
    I tried to use PFAppSuite4::PF_GetMouse() too, but this resulted in the error message "After Effects error: internal verification failure, sorry! {PF_GetMouse can only be called during valid events.}".
    Therefore I want to store the mouse position during PF_Event_ADJUST_CURSOR, and use it later during PF_Event_DRAW.
    Where can I store those values in a "clean" way (ensuring there will not be conflicts if two instances of the same effect are running, etc)?
    Or is there an easier method to get the mouse position during a Custom UI Draw event?

    //SequenceDataVars is the name of your data structure
    //this is how you create the sequence data
    out_data->sequence_data = PF_NEW_HANDLE(sizeof(SequenceDataVars));
    SequenceDataVars *seqData =
    (SequenceDataVars*)PF_LOCK_HANDLE(out_data->sequence_data);
    //and now you can store stuff in it.
    seqData->var1 = 7;
    //after it's created, on other calls, you just do a simple cast
    SequenceDataVars *seqData = *(SequenceDataVars **)out_data->sequence_data;
    seqData->var1 = 100;
    //this is how you delete it. (if you don't delete it, it will be saved with
    the project, and loaded on the next session. (if you want)
    PF_DISPOSE_HANDLE(out_data->sequence_data);
    there's more to know, so look up SequenceSetup, SequenceSetdown, ect in the
    sample project.
