[comp.windows.ms.programmer] HELP with Mouse problems

Imaging Technology PC VisionPlus frame grabber. My problem
is I can not use the Mouse to point to some specific points
of a frozen image on the standby video monitor like I can
if I were programming out of Windows, since Windows reserves
the Mouse resource. One way to get by this problem is to
copy the image into the client area of the window, but it's
a painfully slow process(I am using GetPixel). I think there
may be another way to copy the image faster but I am not sure.
Still I have seen a commercially available package called
Optimus. It is very expensive(the software alone sells for
3990 dollars). In Optimus, you can get the cursor to appear
in the standby video monitor by clicking a button(icon). Optimus
does not fit my need but the way the mouse appears in the other
monitor is exactly what I need. If someone has done something
similar to this. Please help me by either sending me private mail
or post to this netgroup. I will post a summary if there are enough
interests.
