Positioning the cursor using Cursor.Position

[benlogan1981]

Hi

I am trying to set the position of the cursor manually using the following code...

Cursor.Position = new Point(screenX, screenY);

The idea is to basically move the mouse pointer inline with the movement of a human player in a game.

The problem is when I use this call it messes everything up, the player isn't even drawn any more. Even when...

int screenX = Cursor.Position.X;
int screenY = Cursor.Position.Y;

which I would have thought would result in no change at all. Will this manual positioning of the cursor trigger mouse events.

I guess I am just looking for some general advice in this area as I am getting unexpected results.

Thanks

Ben

How are you getting the Cursor object? Are you doing something like this?

Cursor myCursor = new Cursor(Cursor.Current.Handle);
