Once you’ve set up Mouse Keys to your liking, click “OK”. If you want to easily be able to tell when Mouse Keys is on, check the “Display the Mouse Keys icon on the taskbar” box. To make it easier to tell if Num Lock is on or off, you can have a sound play or get a taskbar notification when you turn it on. With the setting on, Mouse Keys will only work when Num Lock is on. However, the Use Mouse Keys when NUM LOCK is on setting provides another method for turning Mouse Keys on and off. Note that, if you turn this setting on, you will not be able to type numbers using the numeric keypad. To do this, select “On” under “Use Mouse Keys when NUM LOCK is” in the Other settings section. If you don’t use the numeric keypad to type numbers, you can choose to use Mouse Keys when Num Lock is on. When Num Lock is on, you can use the numeric keypad as another way to type numbers, in addition to the number keys above the letter keys. To use the Ctrl and Shift keys to speed up and slow down the mouse pointer, check the “Hold down CTRL to speed up and SHIFT to slow down” box. Use the sliders to set the Top speed at which the pointer can move and the Acceleration of the mouse pointer. The Pointer speed section allows you to adjust the speed at which the mouse pointer travels across the screen. This dialog box will close and the Set up Mouse Keys screen in the Ease of Access Center in the Control Panel displays, as shown above, allowing you to turn off the keyboard shortcut. If you decide you don’t want the keyboard shortcut enabled anymore, click the “Go to the Ease of Access Center to disable the keyboard shortcut” link. Just keep pressing the keyboard shortcut until you get the Mouse Keys dialog box. Strange, huh? Well, we tested it several times and that seems to be the way it works. To use the shortcut to turn Mouse Keys off, you must press the shortcut keys two or three times. Click “Yes” to turn on Mouse Keys or “No” if you changed your mind and want Mouse Keys off. If you turned on the keyboard shortcut, and chose to display the warning, you will see the following dialog box when you use the shortcut. You can also choose to “Make a sound when turning a setting on or off”. If you want a warning message to display when you use the shortcut to turn on Mouse Keys, check the “Display a warning message when turning a setting on” box. If you want to turn on Mouse Keys quickly using a shortcut, check the “Turn on Mouse Keys with left ALT + left SHIFT + NUM LOCK” box.

On the Set up Mouse Keys screen, check the “Turn on Mouse Keys” box to enable the feature. NOTE: For some strange reason, if you check the Turn on Mouse Keys box on this screen and then click the Set up Mouse Keys link, you will have to turn it on again on the Set up Mouse Keys screen. However, in this case, because we’re going to show you the settings for Mouse Keys, click “Set up Mouse Keys”. If you just want to enable Mouse Keys with the default settings, you can check the “Turn on Mouse Keys” box under Control the Mouse with the Keyboard.
Cursor lock code#
Here's the updated code I used for SetCursor.On the Ease of Access Center on the Control Panel window, click “Make the mouse easier to use” under Explore all settings.
Cursor lock software#
I'd actually recommend using software mode from the beginning.

Setting it to ForceSoftware (or Force Software in the drop down box) fixes this issue. If you encounter a problem with the texture appearing corrupted, that's because hardware mode on some platforms expects a very specific cursor format. Moving the SetCursor command to a different location (such as Start, or Update) fixes that. It isn't exactly the best example as it states it sets the cursor, but it doesn't state that OnMouseEnter and OnMouseExit are used to detect if a cursor is hovering over an object or not. When I build and run the project's executable though I get the desired result of a hidden cursor.Īdditionally when you mentioned a problem you encountered I decided to sit down and experiment with the example given for SetCursor. I don't know if it is supposed to or not, but that's what it does for me. The editor appears to override hiding the mouse cursor. Click to expand.There is one thing I noticed when trying out the newer ways of working with the cursor.
