I wonder if there is a way to set the mouse cursor position in a FireMonkey app for Windows. It must be done on a MouseMove event. I've already tried ClipCursor and SetCursorPos. Thanks.
SetCursorPos(X, Y) works fine inside a mouse move event. X and Y must be specified in screen coordinates.

What happens is that I initiate the window drag instruction with Neutralino.window.setDraggableRegion, it works but there is a very big problem in rendering.
I am on a windows system. Here is a video of the problem:
Video of the problem
As you specified, the window is dragging but the mouse doesn't move with the point you click on, instead the mouse is at a different position.
I Looked at how draggable region function works under the hood, and it's handled by the JavaScript Client File, by setting the window position to the amount of mouse has moved on x and y.
since the mouse pointer doesn't move instead the window moves relative to the position from where you started clicking.
I will raise this issue, and soon a fix for this will be out!

I have a program using glfw for window management and opengl for rendering. The program works on Windows and linux, and eventually Mac OSX so I want any solution to be portable.
glfw seems to either support a cursor, or getting full mouse input but not both. For example, with the cursor enabled (default) the glfwscroll_callback does nothing. If I disable the cursor, then scrolling the mouse is captured but then the user cannot see where the mouse pointer is. That's ok if I can draw the cursor myself when I want but I cannot find any function to drawcursor at a particular location.
How does the cursor work, ie what is the hardware basis for the cursor? Is there a sprite in hardware still? If it's all in software, I suppose we could draw a cursor at the current mouse location the last thing in render. But that's not convenient. For one thing if the scene hasn't changed, I shut down rendering completely to reduce power.
Is there any way to manually draw a cursor on top of the current screen so that we don't have to manage the buffers manually? Is my only option to change the logic and not render the scene if nothing has changed, but to manually draw a cursor on top of the current scene every frame?
I've made a Node/AutoHotKey script to control two computers with one mouse. I've made the cursor disappear on the first computer when using the second computer (https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=6167), but the mouseover event is still firing of course.
What I mean is simply if you hover over some icons on the desktop you will see tooltips, and so on.
I'm using a graphics tablet (absolute positioning), the cursor position gets captured and sent to the second computer.
I've found this method:
Found it here: https://www.autohotkey.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=33128 (Also from the documentation: https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/BlockInput.htm)
BlockInput, MouseMove ;to disable mouse interaction
BlockInPut, MouseMoveOff ;to enable mouse interaction
But it blocks mousemove completely, so that the cursor stops moving at all.
Is there any way to programmatically disable/enable mouseover (so that buttons don't change their color and tooltips don't appear, but AutoHotKey could still capture cursor position) event globally on Windows without blocking mousemove?
I have a code that sends mouse click (right button) to a chosen window but it does not work on a specific window. I tried to run it in my browser and it worked. Any idea why this happen?
This is my code:
POINT pt = { 974, 625 };
PostMessage(hwnd, WM_RBUTTONDOWN, MK_RBUTTON, MAKELPARAM(pt.x, pt.y));
Sleep(20);
PostMessage(hwnd, WM_RBUTTONUP, MK_RBUTTON, MAKELPARAM(pt.x, pt.y));
EDIT:
It works on the said "specific window" but it just clicked on the cursor's position. I want it to work on different coordinates regardless of my mouse cursor's position just like how it worked in other window(browser).
Can I have a frameless but resizeable window in X?
Setting just MWM_DECOR_RESIZEH without the other flags doesn't make it resizeable.
I can resize it myself manually but then I need to scrape for themed mouse cursors which are non-standardized and are also different for each corner and side.
There are exactly two ways to resize windows:
Leave it to the window manager and be happy. This is recommended way for X. If someone don't like it, he can install another WM that will make it better.
Make it by yourself - draw border around window, track the mouse cursor and when the user drags the edges - resize the window in a way you like. In this case you must set the override-redirect flag of the window and WM will not mess with it.
