"lock screen" only locks the window contents, not the whole screen (despite the name) and never the cursor. The cursor belongs to the user and lives above the screen. But you can "lock cursor" to keep in in the shape that you want.
I can't get "set cursor to none" to hide the cursor here, so there may be something wrong with that feature. What you can do instead is make a 16x16 all-alpha png file and import that into the stack. Then you can set the cursor to that image's id and then lock the cursor and do your movements. When the handler exits, the lock will be released, but it's always better to put an "unlock cursor" (or screen) because these commands stack. (Five locks takes five unlocks.) I made such an image and tested it, and it worked. I'd give you a link to the image, but Dropbox is being flaky right now. Wait... I'll put it on another server: http://nonsanity.com/x/invisible16x16.png And here's my script. I made sure the points I picked were over different objects, like a field, to make sure the cursor wouldn't change as it would normally. on mouseUp set the cursor to 1007 lock cursor set the cursor to 1007 wait 50 repeat with a = 1 to 4 set the screenmouseloc to word a of "202,398 290,270 168,222 363,594" wait 50 end repeat end mouseUp Hope that helps. ~ Chris Innanen ~ Nonsanity On Fri, Jul 1, 2011 at 4:14 AM, Tiemo Hollmann TB <toolb...@kestner.de>wrote: > Hello, > > In a function I set the screenMouseLoc to four different locations on an > image to get the mousecolor of these four locations. > > I have set the screen lock at the beginning of the function, but the cursor > is flickering at all four locations, so obviously the screen is redrawn > everytime I set the mouse at a new location though the screenloc is true. > > What can I do to not see the mouse (and perhaps speed up the function), and > why does the lock screen doesn't work in this case? > > Thanks > > Tiemo > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > 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 > _______________________________________________ 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
