Show Cue System

Hey Mike,

When SCS is using secondary monitor(s) for video/still display, would it be possible to prevent the mouse cursor from begin moved onto those displays, or at least hide it if it is moved there?

It's not a huge deal, but it would be one less thing to have to train our operators to watch out for.

Thanks,
Tim.

Unfortunately not particularly easy to do. The TVG library (used for video playback) can raise an event whenever the mouse is moved over a TVG control, which means SCS could then hide the mouse, but TVG doesn't provide an event for the mouse leaving the boundaries of a TVG control, so there's no easy way to know when to make the mouse visible again.

OK, thanks for checking.

I just searched and found some 3rd party "mousetrap" apps that say they can confine the mouse to a single monitor, which would be sufficient for my purposes if they work as advertised.
I'll play around with them when I get a chance.

Thanks,
Tim.
