Mouse and Multiple Monitors

by Harry Durnan · in Torque Game Builder · 07/31/2013 (5:18 am) · 2 replies

I don't personally have a multiple monitor set-up myself, so I haven't run into this. But, one of my players has said that the mouse doesn't get bound to the game window when he runs it on a multiple monitor set-up. Has anyone else run into this, or have any ideas how to address it?

Thanks!

I was under the impressions that if you wanted the mouse to be 'locked' to your gamewindow, you could call

SceneWindow.setlockMouse(true);

However, after testing it in T2D MIT, it doesn't seem to work properly (or at all!), leading me to believe it doesn't work in TGB 1.8 either.

The community will have to investigate this issue and test it thoroughly.

Let me know if you get it fixed in T2D MIT :D I did find an article on doing it in Windows C++, but that looks more like just rewriting the code than fixing it. I may poke at it some more when I get a chance, but it is a pretty minor issue and I've got bigger ones to address before I get back to it :o
