Hi everyone,

I have an application exported into an .exe which hides the cursor using noCursor(); and replaces it with another cursor (customized one)…

This works perfectly when it runs on my laptop, using only one monitor.

But this application must run in a 2nd monitor, and both monitors must share an extended desktop. I'm on a PC.

OK, I run the .exe and drag it to the 2nd monitor.

The problem comes here, in the moment that I “rollout” the application and “rollover” it again because, in that moment, the application doesn’t hide the cursor, and it shows both cursors: the one by default, and the customized one.
The interactivity continues there, it is: I can get mouseX and mouseY but I cannot hide the cursor: noCursor(); doesn’t work.

I highlight “rollout” and “rollover” because this problem doesn’t occur when I click outside the application and then click inside the application (it is, explicitly loosing and gaining the focus). Once I click on the application, it hides the cursor correctly.

I don’t know Java but still I’m trying these methods:

Code:

public void focusGained(java.awt.event.FocusEvent e) {
 print("\ngained:   "+e); 
}

public void focusLost(java.awt.event.FocusEvent e) {
 print("\nlost:   "+e);
}
 

They are invoked when I click outside the application and then click inside the application. Good.
They are not invoked when I rollout and rollover the application.


Also I have tried these methods:

Code:

public void mouseEntered(java.awt.event.MouseEvent e) {
 print("\nmouse Entered:   "+e); 
}
public void mouseExited(java.awt.event.MouseEvent e) {
 print("\nmouse Exited:   "+e); 
}
 

They are invoked when I rollout and rollover the application.

How can I solve this problem? I guess It has something to do with the focus that’s why I have been going in that way….

Would be there anyway to say something like:

Code:

public void mouseEntered(java.awt.event.MouseEvent e) {
 print("\nmouse Entered:   "+e); 
 requestFocusInWindow();
}
 

Thanks a lot,
