That's true, but how about traffic signs? They aren't visible all the time, do you complain about them, too? State of the art technology would allow to display it inside the car. But let's make a feature request for the documentation that it shows the current page chapter as breadcrumbs or so.

I'm usually not mentioning it publicly but I had an accident a few years ago and ended in an overloaded hospital. Imagine the consequences.

WOW! Traffic signs that are not visible are obvious??? Something about that analogy... :shock:

I don't recall "complaining" about anything in my OP. Maybe I need to go back and examine it more carefully. Or someone should. :mrgreen:

So you're protesting in front of your regime? That's what I've asked. Traffic signs are shown once when you drive by them but they could be shown along the full lane inside your car on a monitor.

It's an analogy: if you complain about PureBasic not showing it everywhere on every page you also have to complain about traffic signs in your local regime.

Anyway, here is your feature request to make it more obvious:

You said it's not obvious, that's what I call a complaint. English isn't my native tongue. A complaint can be anything you're not agreeing with. I don't know why you're so focusing on the word "complaining". Is it meaning something bad in your language? There are whole departments for complaining in software industry: quality assurance, first level support/call centers. It's nothing bad for me.

Nothing happens with the mouse using MouseLocate()
I was expecting this to move my mouse, but nothing happens with mouse.

Code: Select all

MouseLocate(100,100)
Delay(1000)
MouseLocate(200,200)
Delay(1000)
MouseLocate(300,300)
INSTEAD, DO THIS:

Code: Select all

SetCursorPos_(100,100)
Delay(1000)
SetCursorPos_(200,200)
Delay(1000)
SetCursorPos_(300,300)
NOTE: MouseLocate requires InitMouse which also requires a special window be opened first.


// Moved from "Tricks 'n' Tips" to "Coding Questions" (Kiffi)
No mention of fhe word "obvious" anywhere in my OP as seen above.

In fact it was DarkDragon that used the word first.
I never said anything was "obvious".

There. I highly doubt you read anything I posted at all, otherwise you would recognize that I'm supporting you.

Oh I'm reading. I'm just not believing. :lol:
Just left wondering if any newcomers will ever find my tip as I intended if they are trying to figure out how to move the mouse.
