CountyIT Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 I read what I could in the forum but there wasn't much. There might even be a different MouseTrap. The one I found is in Misc.au3 What I want to do is confine the mouse to a notepad document. I know how to get the handle of the Notepad document at which point I do a : $WinSize = WinGetPos(notepadhandle) $Left = $Winsize[0] $Top = $Winsize[1] $Right = $Left + $WinSize[2] $Bottom = $Top + $WinSize[3] Then to trap the mouse _MouseTrap($Left, $Top, $Right, $Bottom) At that point the mouse looks like it winds up on the top-right border of the notepad window and is not movable. I am missing something but can't put my finger on it. Can someone help?
BrewManNH Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Error checking would be a start. What are the values in $Left/$Right/$Top/$Bottom? What's in the array $WinSize after you've read the position? Start with the variables to see what you're dealing with and make sure that you're getting back what you think you are.

Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.
