G'day all, I have been doing some testing of the mouse_event call in windows and wine. There is only one incompatibility that I can see. In windows 95, a call to mouse_event does not _move_ the mouse pointer, whereas in wine, the mouse pointer follows the mouse.
In windows, I have to make a call to mouse_event then another call to setcursorpos() to make the pointer follow the mouse.
When using a touchscreen for input, we use a setcursorpos() call to move the mouse pointer off the screen, and then just feed windows mouse_event calls with the position and button state. This works under wine, but of course the pointer follows the mouse_event.
It looks like this would be difficult to fix as from what I can see the pointer movement seems to be pretty closely tied to the mouse position.
Any ideas?
