I have a program which updates the mouse pointer approx
once per minute. I need to know a clean way of doing this.
Currently I see 2 ways:
GetPrefs(), set mouse pointer, SetPrefs()
or, just slam the thing into the InuitionBase structure.
Unfortunately, The header file for IntuitionBase says to
not change anything dealing with preferences.
So that leaves just GetPefs()...
Now, this is not so bad, except that I don't need all of
the other stuff to happen (like RethinkDisplay()?). I just need
the mouse pointer to change on a global scale.
How does the Pointer Animator work? I think the 1.3 ClockPtr
uses the single window stuff and works on the workbench
window only.
Any ideas? People from C=? An recommended, portable methods
of doing this?
thanks
