  • 0

I’m writing a toy application that plays with the mouse cursor, and I’m trying to move it programmticly. Using either Cursor.Position = ... or Win32 interop calls work fine on a normal machine, but I’m having difficulties getting it to work under VMWare.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

EDIT

To clarify:

I’ve got a small windows forms application I’ve made running inside the VM, it has one button on it, when clicked it is supposed to move the mouse cursor inside the VM. I’ve used both the Cursor.Position method and the approach that Wolf5 has suggested.

    I have resolved the issue.

    In a desperate attempt to try anything i finally gave up and un-installed the mouse driver from the VM. After a reboot, my toy application works.

    The device was listed as a VMWare Pointing device, after the reboot it’s coming up as an “unknown device”, but the mouse still works. Albeit I a little on the nippy side.
