Mouse pointer control

evgy

Hi ALL,

Does anybody have an idea how can i lock one of the axises (X orY) while "move" command. It means when i pick up a symbol i call to an interactive function that keeps symbols X value constant(despite i move a mouse pointer at two directions), so i can transfer the symbol along Y axis only without demagig X axis position.

Thanks in advance,

    Ok, I understand what you are trying to do - effectively slide a component along an axis.

    I suggest using the axlCursorWarp function. It's available in 16.3 but not documented. You will need to enclose this in an event loop.

    While this isn't advanced programming, it is probably quite a tricky litle application. Good luck!
