freeze mouse when click is down


Hi everyone-

I have built a simple map navigation system where a user can move
around a map, and I have set limits on how far the user can drag an
image around. What I'd like to be able to do is if the image is
dragged to it's edge, I'd like to freeze the mouse cursor if the user
tries to move it any further while the mouse button is down. I don't
just want to freeze the image, because what happens is the image
freezes and the user inevitably drags the cursor outside of the
image. So instead, I'd like to freeze both the image, and the mouse
cursor. Is this possible?

Thanks,
Dino

I have set onmousedown to change the cursor, but this setting is ignored (IE 5.5; NN 6.1 on Win 2K Pro) until the mouse is either moved or the mouse button is released. On Opera 7.01, the setting seems to be ignored completely, even when I try with window.setTimeout. So my two questions are: (1) Most important: Is there anything I can do so that I don't have to wait for the next mouse event before the cursor gets repainted. (2) Why...

I have created a form designer type application (with a lot of you peoples helpJ). It has label controls that are draggable at runtime.

The labels also are rotatable and the text can also be flipped 180 degrees (the flipped text part is still being worked on). I have one context menu for all 30 labels that allows for the property changes to the labels....

Dear all, A mouse click on some object in my application should select this object, where mouse down should start moving until mouse up. But, when I press mouse down small move always happens. I tried to work with move tolerance, but then if mouse was near the border of the object, it leaves object and next mouse move is not passed to it. So I am thinking to work with timer. I.e. if MouseDown and NoMouseUpFor1second then move else ignore....

I am creating a Windows application: The mouse event <Double-Button-1> has a conflict when the <Button-1> event also has a binding. Double clicks will first perform the single click action. This seems a little silly. Anyone know how to circumvent this? Right now I am having the function that is bound to the double click event undo the action the single click event performs. This is annoying and it flashes the single click event for a...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
