[Solved]Relative mouse input?

Hi,

I'm doing some camera controllment. When I press mouse button I want the mouse pointer to hide and when I release the button I want to make the pointer visible again from _the position_ it was hidden at!

How can I do it? I tried to use the PointerManager to setPosition() when mouse is released but I get an error:

show code

MyGUI::PointerManager::getInstance().setPointer() << ok

MyGUI::PointerManager().setPointer() << error, create new instance PointerManager

MyGUI::PointerManager().setPointer() << error, create new instance PointerManager

Yup that was the error ... How could I have missed that

However my main issue remains. Even If I setPosition() I will still inject absolute pointer position. I know you had the option to inject relative position in earlier version of mygui. How come you removed that feature? Coz I can't come up with anything that could solve this problem easily?

//in your input manager
int mCurrentX;
int mCurrentY;

// in inject method
mCurrentX += rel_x;
mCurrentY += rel_y;
injectMouseMove(mCurrentX, mCurrentY);

// in any plase (an example move to center)
mCurentX = width / 2;
mCurrentY = height / 2;

//in your input manager
int mCurrentX;
int mCurrentY;

// in inject method
mCurrentX += rel_x;
mCurrentY += rel_y;
injectMouseMove(mCurrentX, mCurrentY);

// in any plase (an example move to center)
mCurentX = width / 2;
mCurrentY = height / 2;
Thanks, that should probably do it!

I'm getting some strange results. I can't find any error in my code.

When I press the mouse, I tell mygui to stop recieve mousemove which is fine, the pointer isn't moving. When I release the mouse button, my pointer disappears completely or it will appear somewhere else on the screen until I move the pointer again and it'll go to the position where it was when I pressed the button.

I was wondering; in Gui::InjectMouseReleased() you take the OIS::MouseEvent as param. That function should not touch pointer position, right? Or what else could mess things up?

MouseMoved:
if(mInjectGuiMouseMove)
{
mRelMousePosX += arg.state.X.rel;
mRelMousePosY += arg.state.Y.rel;
mGui->injectMouseMove(mRelMousePosX, mRelMousePosY, 0);
}
MousePressed:
if(mInjectGuiMouseButton)
mGui->injectMouseRelease(arg, id);

onMouseClickedInRenderBox:
if(mouseDown)
mInjectGuiMouseMove = false; // don't move gui pointer, only receive movemove from OIS to move camera

if(mouseUp)
mInjectGuiMouseMove = true; // move gui pointer from the position we stopped it


if(mInjectGuiMouseButton)
mGui->injectMouseRelease(arg, id);// arg - absolute


if (mInjectGuiMouseButton)
mGui->injectMouseRelease(mRelMousePosX, mRelMousePosY, id);

if (mInjectGuiMouseButton)
mGui->injectMousePressed(mRelMousePosX, mRelMousePosY, id);


dont use arg anywhere

Seems to work, thanks!
