Oh, do you mean for us just to hit Escape instead of killing the app?
Sure, but we were discussing what to do if you lost the mouse, you
know, if you killed the app by mistake.

And you only quoted part
of my reply, which was discussing MY app that didn't have a keyboard
option to restore the mouse.

Actually I tought you were smart enuff to figure it out but I was wrong.

Well, it's bloddy simple. The keyboard is the secondary hardware input device. So you can control your computer with it to access the control panel and reload the default mouse set. No Rebbot, no logoff.

Anyway, no one should really use this method as it involes too many risks. This is all theory, no practial use.

I see. Yes, that works.

The thought didn't even cross my mind, but that doesn't mean I'm not smart.
I was too busy trying to work out what your response had to do with my post.

When the app exits, the following code will restore the mouse pointer set (similar to the User using the Control Panel):

Code: Select all

SystemParametersInfo_(#SPI_SETCURSORS,0,#Null,#Null)
                Delay(1)
