[comp.lang.pascal] TP 6.0 and mouse driver

ebergman@isis.cs.du.edu (Eric Bergman-Terrell) (02/09/91)

I wrote my own mouse driver for TP 6.0 (which in turn calls a MicroSoft
mouse compatible driver.

It looks like the mouse settings get mysteriously changed when the BGI
graphics driver (egavga.bgi) gets called, and then the program returns
to text mode.

Has anyone else had this problem?

For example, my program calls the driver to restrice the mouse to columns
1 to 80, rows 1 to 24.  After entering graphics mode and returning to text
mode, the mouse is no longer restricted to rows 1 to 24.

BTW with the exception of the above problem, writing a mouse driver is
remarkably easy (get hold of the MicroSoft Mouse Programmer's Manual).
