I'm looking for a TP Unit that helps me control my mouse. Either that or a pointer towards how I can do it myself. I have scanned this notes group quickly and I can't seem to find much discussion about it. Perhaps it has been archived away. How do I program my mouse?

I haven't any experience with mice units myself, but if you look at the list of references at the end of faqpas.txt in the /pc/ts/tsfaq14.arc collection (available from uwasa.fi), some of them include mouse units or code. At least Tischer's excellent Turbo Pascal Internals does. ...................................................................

Edwards that contains a very informative section on how the Microsoft mouse driver works. It includes the documented source code for a complete TP mouse library. The book was written specifically for TP 3.0, but almost all the code in it works without modification. I had no problems whatsoever getting the mouse code to work. BTW, the book's name is 'Advanced Techniques in Turbo Pascal' If you can't find it, and you still need the information, let me know and I will email you the source.

Thanks, I have gotten some mouse unit code and have it working ... sort of. My next question is how do I set my mouse cursor to, say, an arrow? Sorry about the questions but my home PC is a loner and I have no documentation about the mouse. P.S. It's and HP-HIL mouse but it seems to be MicroSoft compatable.
