Can anyone help?

before trying goto the Max4xTuturialsandtopics.pdf and find the topic: messages to Max. (;pupdate)

this let you send the global position of cursor.

the patch:
1 – detect the window size

2 – when the “mouse” is in the “red zone”; or when the “time” as gone… i don’t know… you send this message: ;pupdate x y

2a – before sending the mouse out screen, save is position on a int… ou two (x y)

x is the total horizontal screen size and y the vertical.

3 – when the mouse moves, send the same mesage but with the x y saved in the INT.

if the mouse is in the bottom right coner of screen… “disapear”

i hope this work! :)

;max hidecursor

and

;max showcursor

hides and shows the mouse pointer. the mousestate object shows the
pointers position and state.

the rest should be max logic & patching :)

“;max hidecursor” and “;max showcursor” seem to be the right way to go. The only problem is that at some point during my application “;max hidecursor” stops hiding the mouse!

I can manually click on a message box with “;max hidecursor” and nothing happens. To get it to work again I need to close max and re-launch.

The application is quite big and complex so I can’t post it here.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Thanks,

Sydney
