Mouse Pointer Position Hotkeys

I wall start by saying, as far as all this scripting goes. I only know that it's called scripting.
That being said. Here is what I need : A way to toggle the ability to snap my mouse pointer to predefined coordinates on the screen by pressing a button. At least up to 8 positions. Use of the Num pad would be optimal.
If anyone can point me in the right direction or, if i'm lucky, just hook me up. I'd be greatful.
Thank you in advance... TheEnemy (It's just a name)

Snipping is not part of scripting as are snooping or sniping.
What you are asking is something that aged programmers have been trying to accommplish for decades. It is the holey-canoli grail of computing. Ever since the first mouse was invented we have been trying to acommplish that feat. Unfortunately
the lowly mouse is way too wild and undisciplined to get him to behave in such a way.
I would recommend hiring what we call a "mouse butler". This fellow will place your mouse wherever you like and do so very cautiously.
Short of that, what you ask cannot be done.
============
=============
Seriously now, this is a forum for technicians who use scripting to administer computers. There is no need to move mouses on the screen. Windows does not let us operate the mouse remotely or from a batch file. What you are asking is technically
impossible with a script without special external software.
If you are looking to automate a game then I recommend posting in a gaming forum as some gamers have some pretty cool tools.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Mouse pointer position at start up

I know this may seem beyond lazy but...
Is there any way to change the mouse pointer position at startup? I would much prefer it to be in the middle of the screen rather than way in the topleft corner.
One other question: I still think window minimize/maximize/close buttons (not sure what you would call them) that are on top left for apple and top right for PC are more conveniently located on the right side (and there really aren't many things I could honestly say I prefer about PC). May be it's just me but my pointer spends most of its time on the bottom and right side of the screen. Is there a way to change the position of the buttons?
Sorry if this has been addressed before but I couldn't find it.

The short answer to both of your questions is no.
However, you may be able to use some sort of theme software that will allow you to change the position of the buttons by changing the appearance of the windows. There are, from what I understand, hundreds of themes that you can try. Maybe one of them will put the buttons on the other side of the window. You might check out Shape Shifter.
http://www.unsanity.com/haxies/shapeshifter
One caveat, Shape shifter is a system hack and as such may add some instability to the system.
As for the position of the cursor I don't really know unless you can find some sort of third party program that will do it. You might take a look at Version Tracker and see if there is something there.

Mouse pointer position while using PPR

Hello All,
I have a PPR section in a custom page and what happens in the PPR region is, there is with a button click new Search Fields are added dynamically. The requirement is to highlight the mouse pointer in newly added Search Text fields. I am not that familiar with OAF so any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks

on PPR event, set the cursor on newly added field using below code:
import oracle.apps.fnd.framework.webui.beans.OABodyBean;
OABodyBean oabean = (OABodyBean)pageContext.getRootWebBean();
oabean.setInitialFocusId("<itemId>");

Setting the position of the mouse pointer

Hi,
I want to explicitly set the mouse pointer to an definded location, e.g. when a window is opened.
Is there a method I can invoke or a work around to set the mouse pointer to, say, posx = 100 and posy = 150?
Are there any other manipulating methods such as pressing the mouse button?
thanx,
SirRuberth

yes.
You can do all that and much more with the java.awt.Robot class
(new in java 1.3)
void mouseMove(int x, int y)
Moves mouse pointer to given screen coordinates.
void mousePress(int buttons)
Presses one or more mouse buttons.
void mouseRelease(int buttons)
Releases one or more mouse buttons.

How can I get mouse pressed and mouse released positions on the desktop whi

Hello All,
I am generating a Frame using Swing API. My requirement is I need to capture the mouse pressed and mouse released positions, whenever user drags the mouse on desktop region (i.e. outside of the Frame). I require these points to find the rectangle region user has generated starting from mouse pressed to mouse released position. I need to pass that rectangle to Robot class in order to capture that desktop region.
Can anybody help me out how can I achieve this using java on MAC, Linux and Windows platforms?
Thanks in advance.

VPKVL

Your thoughts ?They use JNI with the OS API.

Focus on mouse pointer on click- WPF

hi,
I want to focus the position of the mouse pointer when the user clicks.
Exactly like the focus we get on clicking the ctrl key to locate mouse pointer after enabling it here.
Can anyone help me with this.
Thanks,

Hi TheShaleen,
>>I want to focus the position of the mouse pointer when the user clicks
It's hard to accomplish your requirement, I've tried to find API to enable this setting, but as far as I know, there is no official API to enable this programmatically.
If you just want to make this work on some control, like Canvas, you could get the coordinate of Mouse Pointer and draw shap on this Canvas, please refer to this article:

Disable the mouse pointer icon!

As in the title, is there a way to disable the mouse pointer
icon, ie when you rollover the button it changes to the "finger". I
dont want to see the "finger" I just want it to remain as the
"arrow"

well.
Well, I must by now reply to all of you.
First, "urami" made a good point when referring to kiosk
interfaces. It makes sense to have no roll over in this case and I
fully agree with this statement.
But in the case of the interfaces we commonly create in Flash
we need the finger icon to indicate that there is a photo-button or
a drawing-button or a clickable text here and, if we want to "hide"
it or if we do not want the user click it, we can with simple
functions (related to _x and _y mouse position) disable or enable
depending the circumstances the hot spot when the pointer rolls
over it.
The quoted remark of "DMennenoh" is not relevant.
Why? Simply because in the OS all buttons are clearly
designed as... buttons! There is no need to change the pointer icon
as we perfectly know what we are going to do and where we must move
the pointer to do the action: Open, Save, etc. And it is not only
the case for buttons, it's also the case for the menu bar...
In the interfaces we design, it is not always the case.
In all my interfaces, I always have in mind these:
How shall I react if I see this interface for the first time?
What can I do and where?
I suppose you'll agree with me if I say that some interfaces
are so bad that it is very helpful to have the finger icon just to
indicate that the area under the pointer is clearly a hot spot...
I think this discussion is far from ending...

Drag and dropping an address from address book to the desktop, the address file does not go where my mouse is positioned.

If I drag and drop an address from address book to the desktop, the address file does not go where my mouse is positioned. It winds up somewhere in the middle of my screen. Any way to have the address file land and stay where my mouse pointer is?

You have to assign the favicon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click the shortcut: Properties) after you have dragged the link to the desktop.
You can usually find the favicon in Tools >Page Info > Media and save the icon there.
Otherwise use the main domain of the website and add favicon.ico (e.g. mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder.

Buggy mouse cursor position (Jumps around to random spot on mouse click)

I've only noticed this annoying quirk in photoshop CS4. This only happens when using the tools in photoshop, and not in any other programs.
When using the tools in photoshop, every so often, some times more often then others, the tools will jump to a random place on (and many times FARE off) screen on mouse click. As in the tool is no longer where my mouse is, but is registering elsewheer.
A few examples. Working with the pen tool to line something, click a control point to set it, go to click to set another one and that point is now being dragged around well off my screen even though the mouse pointer is on screen.
Using the brush tool to color something in and click and the brush is coloring fare above my curser.
Select something and the selection is jumping here and there each time, go to crop? Click and drag and the grabed part jumps off screen.
It is random as to when it wants to jump, and where it wants to jump. Some times it happens all the time, others every so often, or times not at all,.
No settings are ever changed reguarding the mouse, it's just random and ONLY in photoshop with using it's tools. My mouse it's self is not jumping, just where the tool is drawing/putting down whatever is.
This jumping also seems to be a rather common thing, as I stream my drawing live at times and when it starts doing this I've had many people comment and remark that their copy also does the same thing. Posting a journal entry about it also resaulted in a lot of replies with people facing the same thing.
Is this a bug in CS4? People have told me to check my mouse settings under the control panel but that shouldn't have anything to do with it when every other program I use does not do this yet photoshop does. Flash don't, dreamweaver don't, illustrator don't. Painter, bryce, max, etc etc none of them do it. Only photoshop and only when I am using a tool. It's effects are still random.

Hi,
I have the same problem as well. I don't think it's related to the mouse hardware at all- on mine the mouse curser stays in the same position but Photoshop registeres is elsewhere! If I let go (of holding the mouse button), the mouse is still where I left it. I've had this problem since Photoshop CS4 x64 but the problem still happens on Photoshop CS5 x64 (it was fine at first but after about a month of use now CS5 has started having the same problem).
I've had the problem for a while (almost a year now) and is really annoying! I dont have any tablets, and I've changed my mouse a few times. I am using a laptop with Windows Ultimate x64. It only happens in photoshop, it's fine in Adobe InDesign.
Hopefully someone might come up with a solution!
Thanks to anyone who can help me/us

Mouse Pointer freezing all the time

Mouse pointer freezing constantly
Hi!
My mouse pointer is regularly freezing after about 20 seconds or so. It is released by clicking. I have installed Parallels, and the Windows window says (on the lower left frame) "Click inside OS Window to capture mouse". This has not earlier been necessary even for the Windows window, but has now spread to the Mac side.
I find this utterly annoying and potentially harmful. If I have left the pointer in any place I am not aware of and want to retrieve it, I normally move it to find it. Now I have to click before I can move it, meaning I have to click the mouse in a position I do not know. I can see myself making purchases which ruin me, and the like...
I have recently installed Norton Antivirus on the Mac side and Norman Antivirus on the Windows side. Could that have anything to do with it?
Thank you for any information that can lead to capturing the culprit, dead or alive!
Hening.

Hi BDAqua
thank you for your fast reply. I followed yor advice, then booted from my backup disk, repaired the primary disk (no repairs needed) and repaired permissions again, and turned off Norton Auto-protection - altogether to no avail.
Disk Space on primary drive:
Capacity of drive 74.53 GB
Mac partition: Capacity: 59.97 GB; Available: 15.68 GB
Windows Partition (Bootcamp, accessed via Parallels):
Capacity: 14.24 GB, Available: 6.84 GB
This seems to mean that I have only 1.44 GB free space on my Mac volume.
Could this be the reason? Tomorrow, I'll move some large files to a backup medium.
Any more ideas?
Kind regards - Hening.

Weird mouse pointer behaviour

Since this morning OSX won't register the position of my mouse pointer. All the hover triggered events (link highlights, Expose Hot Corners) won't work. OnClick events do work correctly, but it is kind of annoying not being able to use hot corners.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

Something is up with the 10.5.6 update. Bluetooth mice pointer is erratic, but buttons all work fine. Mouse is fine (Great: ROCKETFISH) on all other Macs. Mail.app, SyncServer and other non desrcript and arcane named processes are sucking the goodness out my MacBook 2.16 Mid 2007. Fans are going much more than it ever did...battery is being drained by processes I never evoke. Crashes from BAD_ACCESS plagued me on 10.4.11 so I took the plunge....bought Leopard....and spent days trouble shooting all the messes it casued...had to search for Mail.app update....never showed up in the software updater process....that is not acceptable....I have bought new hard drives, thinking it was a faulty drive...not enough free space.....nope. Spotlight was eratic at one point. I run Disk Utility and ONyx regularly and often the permissions are wrong on a big scale....run it again and the same ones are wrong again....run it off the Installer Disk....Get everything apparently tickety boo....then the Bad Access thing reals its ugly head again....I am tired of being a beta tester...this is not my bling thing toy...it is my living and I spend more time doing trouble shooting than work....Genius guys are a misnomer....Apple is starting to drop from the top of the tree and is looking rather fetid mixed with the compositing leaves....enough CRAPPLE give me the good Mac stuff once again....System/Finder 3.7 wasn't this bad. Who needs a million bells and whistles if you can't the 'trailer hitch' to work? Tech tool shows all is well.

this program will capture the video n play
if u click on the mark button processor will be stopped
u can click on the image and get the mouse co-ordinates
i have also got the pixel values of the current frame at which u had clicked the mark button..do some manipulation on the pixels to get ur stuff work
hope this will help u in some way

Cannot access beginning Mouse point

I see the 4 red dot beginning mouse point access area but on
slide two there is no way to orginate the mouse movement other than
where it ended up in slide 1.
This is a big hassle and waste of time.
How can I fix this QUICKLY!
Doug

No fix, that's how Captivate works. The cursor moves from one
slide to
the next, always starting from it's last position on the
previous slide.
Why would you want the cursor to start from a position on one
slide
different from where it was on the previous slide? The mouse
is here,
then it's suddenly over there...the cursor doesn't jump
around like that
normally. I'd think that would be a little disconcerting.
If you REALLY need to do that, you can put in a slide that
does not have
any cursor showing (don't show the cursor), then on the next
slide you
can place the cursor where you want it to reappear...

Modal dialog limiting the mouse pointer and blocking all application

I wanted to create a modal dialog that blocks all application in my desktop. Only password field be present and exits only if correct password is typed. I also wanted to limit the mouse pointer within the window of the modal dialog. Will that be possible? i have read modality feature of Mustang(beta) and notes there that system modality is not included. Can anybody there give me an idea how to do tricks on blocking all applications of the desktop? I will be much grateful to anybody who could solve this problem. Thnx in advance...

tnx Sarcommand ..i give up on that, i understand the risk if that feature is included..
all i wanted is to make an internet cafe client/server that blocks the client's pc interaction if log time is reached.blocking only the keyboard and mouse.
i have seen so many softwares sets the cursor position within the dialog bounding box only with user and password there. though my other application runs the mouse is still captured on the dialog even the dialog lost focus.
if that would not be possible I'll just send notification to the client, a dialog that does not block any application.
now, im going to try if the client can do som action whenever the server sends alert if the client java app is not the focus. i will post next time what hapens.but if you tried already, if u dont mind posting it so others could know it also..
tnx so much Sarcommand..

Safari won't open and wheel (mouse pointer) keeps spinning

Hi guys.
I'm going crazy here as everything I've read and tried doesn't work?
I've deleted cache files, history, plug-ins etc etc and every time I try and launch Safari, I keep getting the spinning wheel/beach ball/mouse pointer and safari doesn't open?
I've received the following long error message and it may as well be in Arabic as I haven't got a clue what it means?
Any techies out there who could shed some light "Error message for dummies' style please?
This is the report error.
Cheers,
Marc

You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
