Is there any way to set the mouse coordinates in a proper way ?
I'm trying to write a record/replay-ish program and need to
reset the mouse coordinates when starting up.

You can send a POINTERPOS input event. It allows you to specify mouse coordinates in 640 x 400 (640 x 512 PAL). This is the same as IBase->MouseX/Y. 2.0 has a NEWPOINTERPOS event which can accept a screen pointer, allowing you to give mouse coordinates in screen resolution units. >Ives Aerts: GUTEST8@BLEKUL11.BITNET Multitasking: a MUST (not only > GHGAEAB@BLEKUL11.BITNET for schyzophrenics...)

There is a program on one of the Fish disks called Record-Replay (I think). 'Fraid I don't remember which Fish disk offhand. My first guess would be in the upper 200's, but... It actually records the mouse movements and menu selections (and keystrokes?) of any program you ran. It could then repeat those events for playback, such as showing a demo. When I get a chance, I'll check on that for you, and let you know the disk number, the name (in case I mis-remembered) and if there was source, too.

It's on #105. The paragraph from FF105 for it follows: Record-Replay A program that records a sequence of mouse and keyboard events as they occur and stores them in a file. The file can be played back to cause the same sequence of events to occur again. Very useful for creating demonstrations of programs or documenting repeatable bugs. This is version 2.0, an update to the version on disk 95. Shareware, binary only. Author: Alex Livshits and J-M Forgeas The blurb on FF95 sez that the source is available from the authors. But they may have changed their minds since, since source is not mentioned in the FF105 blurb.
