Cursor limit

[David McFarlane]

Francesco,

Stock reminder:  1) I do not work for PST.  2) PST's trained staff 
takes any and all questions at 
http://support.pstnet.com/e%2Dprime/support/login.asp , and they 
strive to respond to all requests in 24-48 hours -- this is pretty 
much their substitute for proper documentation, so make full use of 
it.  3) If you do get an answer from PST Web Support, please extend 
the courtesy of posting their reply back here for the sake of others.

That said, here is my take...

No simple "method" that will do this for you.  You would have to use 
some inline code to examine mouse movements, translate those to the 
desired mouse coordinates, and then move the mouse cursor there, 
taking advantage of things like Mouse.GetCursorPos and 
Mouse.SetCursorPos (see the MouseDevice topic in the online E-Basic 
Help).  Of course, then your code would be fighting with the OS's own 
mouse handler, so I don't know how smooth the results would be -- 
otherwise, you would have to hide the actual mouse cursor and draw 
your own as needed.

Good luck,
