When I use "Lock Mouse Cursor to Current Monitor" it lock perfectly but when I open another window (or just open another app usingALT+TAB) it unlock cursor to current monitor. :cry:

. This was the only thing I was missing in DF. ]]> RE: [Feature Request] Lock mouse-pointer on Monitor https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-lock-mouse-pointer-on-monitor/?ID=efecd9b0-0ceb-400f-8124-193791417900#9 Thu, 17 Mar 2011 21:41:54 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-lock-mouse-pointer-on-monitor/?ID=efecd9b0-0ceb-400f-8124-193791417900#9 DisplayFusion Just waiting on the graphics for the TitleBar Button from the designer and it's ready to roll.

There is a new HotKey that locks the mouse cursor to the currently focused window, which will work perfectly for playing games on multi-monitor systems. Look for Beta 3 to be released in the next week or so. ]]> RE: [Feature Request] Lock mouse-pointer on Monitor https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-lock-mouse-pointer-on-monitor/?ID=efecd9b0-0ceb-400f-8124-193791417900#6 Thu, 03 Mar 2011 21:40:34 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-lock-mouse-pointer-on-monitor/?ID=efecd9b0-0ceb-400f-8124-193791417900#6 DisplayFusion Use MouseTrap its the only one i've found that works with win 7 x86 and x64. Alt-Z locks. Alt-X unlocks. Alt-C closes the program. No user interface or taskbar icon. Exactly what your looking for. I had the same problem with my older games, works like a charm. ]]> RE: [Feature Request] Lock mouse-pointer on Monitor https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-lock-mouse-pointer-on-monitor/?ID=efecd9b0-0ceb-400f-8124-193791417900#5 Wed, 02 Mar 2011 20:40:08 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-lock-mouse-pointer-on-monitor/?ID=efecd9b0-0ceb-400f-8124-193791417900#5 DisplayFusion I'm not mad about superfluous installations either, but AutoIt (in ZIP form) doesn't require any installation - once you get your script working as you like, use AutoIt's compiler to create a self-standing EXE which doesn't require any installed runtimes at all, and you can then use it as you like.

An option, anyway, well worth experimenting with - with the added benefit that in future you're no longer reliant upon asking other developers to develop niche requests for you (howevermuch that seems convenient in the short-term).

(If you have any background in coding at all [even just a schoolboy's "Hello World"], AutoIt is ridiculously easy to learn, and extremely useful.) ]]> RE: [Feature Request] Lock mouse-pointer on Monitor https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-lock-mouse-pointer-on-monitor/?ID=efecd9b0-0ceb-400f-8124-193791417900#4 Wed, 02 Mar 2011 20:22:05 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-lock-mouse-pointer-on-monitor/?ID=efecd9b0-0ceb-400f-8124-193791417900#4 DisplayFusion well im either asking this or a plugin system like MsgPlus! has so I can add my own script to DF.

Thanks for the suggestion Kilmatead. I'd prefer not to install a lot of software for something as simple as this, but if this suggestion gets rejected for whatever reason that will be my next stop.

The RTS's im playing right now are ~10 years old.. hehe ]]> RE: [Feature Request] Lock mouse-pointer on Monitor https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-lock-mouse-pointer-on-monitor/?ID=efecd9b0-0ceb-400f-8124-193791417900#3 Wed, 02 Mar 2011 19:21:35 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-lock-mouse-pointer-on-monitor/?ID=efecd9b0-0ceb-400f-8124-193791417900#3 DisplayFusion If you are at all familiar with scripting, this is quite simple to do in one of the common languages AutoIt or AHK; just look at http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/59574-restricting-mouse-movement/ thread, which basically does it for you.

If you are not familiar with such scripting, small things like this are the perfect opportunity to learn. :-)

(Curiously the only two RTS's worth playing :wink:

CoH and RTW already do this, so I couldn't find anything to test it on, but the theory's the same for anything really.) ]]> RE: [Feature Request] Lock mouse-pointer on Monitor https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-lock-mouse-pointer-on-monitor/?ID=efecd9b0-0ceb-400f-8124-193791417900#2 Wed, 02 Mar 2011 05:50:12 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-lock-mouse-pointer-on-monitor/?ID=efecd9b0-0ceb-400f-8124-193791417900#2 DisplayFusion Seconded, though I doubt he will do this. I recall asking years ago, and getting a negative reply. you can try to Google windows mouse capture, that might point you in a good direction if memory serves. ]]> [Feature Request] Lock mouse-pointer on Monitor https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-lock-mouse-pointer-on-monitor/?ID=efecd9b0-0ceb-400f-8124-193791417900 Tue, 01 Mar 2011 18:16:56 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-lock-mouse-pointer-on-monitor/?ID=efecd9b0-0ceb-400f-8124-193791417900 DisplayFusion Hey,

First of all thanks for making and maintaining this awesome piece of software. DF has everything I need, well, almost.

When playing (older) games my mouse pointer (cursor, etc) sometimes goes out of the screen onto the secondary monitor. Which is very annoying, especially when you want to scroll sideways in RTS games.

What I need is a feature that locks a mouse-pointer to a specific monitor. At least lock it to the primary monitor. Preferably implemented as a toggle hotkey.

Thanks,
Machiel ]]>
