- Short: Puts Mouse Pointer anywhere on screen

- Type: util/boot
-
-
- CPointer 2.3 is a simple utility that will centre the mouse pointer on boot-up and
- much more.
-
-
- Features:
-
- - Will centre the mouse pointer on any size screen.(Default)
- - User defined co-ordinates can be set.
- - Left mousebutton can be activated with delay (screen activation)
- - Double-click can be emulated.
- - Works with native screenmodes as well as Graphics cards.
-
-
- NOTE:
- *****
-
- **** CPointer is CLI only. It will promptly crash if try to run ****
- **** it from Workbench !! ****
-
-
- Usage:
-
- C:CPointer XPOS YPOS DELAY DCLICK
-
- XPOS = X position on screen > if the X and Y values are omittied, the pointer <
- YPOS = Y position on screen > is centred by defualt. <
-
- DELAY = fakes a left mouse button click after so many ticks. (50 ticks = 1 second. 60 if NTSC)
- Good for activating a screen like WorkBench after boot. 0-600 allowed (0 to 10 seconds)
-
- DCLICK Will execute a double click. This could be used to have the pointer
- double-click on an icon to run it. Use your imagination :)
-
- Installation:
-
- 1) Dump CPointer to your C: dir.
-
- 2) Fire up your favorite text editor.
-
- 3) Now, just before LoadWB add this line:
-
-
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Run >NIL: C:CPointer XPOS=<value> YPOS=<value> DELAY=<delay> DCLICK (see below for explanation)
-
- C:LoadWB
-
- EndCli >NIL:
-
-
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
- Examples:
-
- Run >NIL: C:CPointer ; This will centre the mouse pointer on the current screen
-
- Run >NIL: C:CPointer DELAY=0 ; This will centre the mouse pointer aswell as activate the current screen.
-
- Run >NIL: C:CPointer DELAY=250 ; Centre Mouse Pointer on screen. Fake a left mouse button click 4.5 seconds
- after CPointer is run.
-
-
- Run >NIL: C:CPointer XPOS=100 YPOS=200 DELAY=250 DCLICK ; Position mouse at 100,200 and fake a
- double click after 4.5 seconds.
-
- You get the idea......
-
-
- Now on every boot, your mouse pointer will be centred on your Workbench
- Screen. Put over an icon or icon bay. Run a program through it's icon.
- Do what you will. :)
