mouse

I need a way to detect mouse/keyboard activity on Linux. Something similar to what any IM program would do. If no activity is detected for, say 5 minutes, it will set your IM status to "I'm not here right now". Any help towards this is appreciated. Thanks. rosch Or simply use the command xprintidle which returns the idle time in milliseconds. It has been packaged for debian based systems. (the source is not available any more on the original site dtek.chalmers.se/~henoch but you can get it at packages.ubuntu.com ) more info on freshmeat.net Gilles Quenot Complete c solution : (cut & paste the

Is it possible to implement mouse click and drag selection box in WPF. Should it be done through simply drawing a rectangle, calculating coordinates of its points and evaluating position of other objects inside this box? Or are there some other ways? Could you give a bit of sample code or a link? Here is sample code for a simple technique that I have used in the past to draw a drag selection box. XAML: <Window x:Class="DragSelectionBox.Window1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" Title="Window1" Height="300"

(I don't want to hear about how crazy I am to want that! :) Focus-follows-mouse is also known as point-to-focus, pointer focus, and (in some implementations) sloppy focus. [Add other terms that will make this more searchable!] X-mouse Clint Ecker You can do it for Terminal.app by issuing the following command at the command line: defaults write com.apple.Terminal FocusFollowsMouse -bool true For X11 apps you can do this: defaults write com.apple.x11 wm_ffm -bool true In Snow Leopard, use this instead: defaults write org.x.X11 wm_ffm -bool true Apparently there's a program called CodeTek

I have a plot figure and I want to retreive x and y cordinates when we select particular data point using mouse from plot figure. Any ideas? Another option is to use the button down function: function mouseExample() h = plot(rand(10,1), 'o-'); set(h, 'ButtonDownFcn',@buttonDownCallback) function buttonDownCallback(o,e) p = get(gca,'CurrentPoint'); p = p(1,1:2); title( sprintf('(%g,%g)',p) ) end end Note this will not only work on "data-points", but rather on interpolated (x,y) positions of where you clicked on the lines. You could process the result by searching for the nearest actual point,

Problem When you search for such question using google you get a lot of hits but all solutions assume you have at least one window. But my question is just like I phrased it -- not assumptions at all. I can have a window, but I could have zero windows (because I didn't even show one or I just closed the last one). So in short the solution cannot rely on any widget or window -- the only thing is known, is there is a desktop (and app running, but it does not have any windows). So the question is -- how to get the mouse position? Background I would like to show windows centered to mouse position.

I want to get the mouse position with respect to the control in which mouse pointer is present. That means when I place the cursor to the starting point (Top-Left corner) of control it should give (0,0). I am using the following code: private void panel1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) { this.Text = Convert.ToString(Cursor.Position.X + ":" + Cursor.Position.Y); } But this gives the position with respect to the screen not to the control. Code sample will be appreciated. You can directly use the Location property of the MouseEventArgs argument passed to your event-handler. private
