MouseGetCursor consumes left mouse clicks

[martin]

if a script continually calls MouseGetCursor() then double clicking in other applications can be disabled.
This thread ​http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=42268&hl=problem+MouseGetCursor has three reports of the problem, and this example demonstrates. While the script is running double clicking on a desktop shortcut is liable to fail.

$g = GUICreate("check mousegetcursor")
GUISetState()
while GUIGetMsg()<> -3
	MouseGetCursor()
sleep(30)
Wend

Fixed in version: 3.3.1.0

Sorry - still occurs when using autoIt COM control - I downloaded 3.3.2.0.
I went ahead and made my own COM .dll using VBExpress2008 (had to register it using .NET regasm.exe and gacutil.exe to make it COM visible). And it works *great* with no double click cancelling - but it doesn't return the same set of numbers you have (e.g. Arrow returns 65553).

Please see if the following Class code helps you to make the AutoIt one work.

Public Class cursorData

Public Declare Function GetCursorInfo Lib "user32.dll" (ByRef pc As CURSORINFO) As Integer

Structure CURSORINFO

Dim cbsize As Integer
Dim flags As Integer
Dim hCursor As Integer
Dim p As PointAPI

End Structure

Structure PointAPI

Dim X As Integer
Dim Y As Integer

End Structure

Public Function cursorType()

Dim ff As New CURSORINFO
ff.cbsize = System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.SizeOf(GetType(CURSORINFO))
GetCursorInfo(ff)
cursorType = ff.hCursor

End Function

End Class
