Setting the Cursor to an image
Folks: I am setting the cursor to a 32x32 image. It works in the standalone app, but not in the development system. Is there something wrong with the IDE? This happens in version 8 and 9 (latest downloads). I use: on mouseUp set the cursor to #—the ID of the image lock cursor end mouseUp What’s up? I’d like to have this work in the IDE.

Re: Setting the cursor
Thanks Jacque. I was hoping to present the user with vision of a cursor moving to the button and then clicking on it. I think now that I will manufacture my own cursor, using RR's line graphic (with arrow attached) and thereby simulate a cursor. It is perhaps the dark side of my nature that allows me this ruse, but at least I am not wresting control of the cursor from the user, and my intentions are honorable. Ken's suggestion (using screenMouseLoc) would allow me to take control of the cursor. It is odd that there is a command to locate the mouse relative to the screen but not the card. I wonder whether this, and the notion of exercising power only for good, might not date back to Scott Rainey. He had strong feelings about the rights and wrongs of programming. I remember a battle I had with him over repeat while the mouse is down, an instance where the programmer wrests control of the COMPUTER from the user.

Re: Setting the cursor
Perhaps a png would be better. That way you could show a Mac cursor to a Mac user, and a Windows cursor to Windows users.

I wonder whether this, and the notion of exercising power only for good, might not date back to Scott Rainey. He had strong feelings about the rights and wrongs of programming. I think the reasoning with the screenMouseLoc is that, unlike controls, the mouse is not bound to a single window, but is global in nature. When obtaining coordinates, those are most useful to do something with them within the window, hence the local coords. But you can set the mouse location to anywhere on the display, so global coords seem a more natural fit. I you need to translate from global to local coords you can use the toLocal function. FWIW, I think the doc's note of You must use this power only for good came from Jeanne DeVoto from back when she wrote the original Dictionary. I could be wrong, but it sounds like her style. I've had the pleasure of working with her to document a client product for the last few years, and her passion for usability and keeping the user in control has been much appreciated. -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World LiveCode training and consulting: http://www.fourthworld.com Webzine for LiveCode developers: http://www.LiveCodeJournal.com LiveCode Journal blog: http://LiveCodejournal.com/blog.irv ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
