Locking mouse within a canvas

10-16-2007 6:48 AM |

Hi,

I would like to know how I can restrict the mouse within a canvas if left button is pressed?

Actually, this is part of a drag and drop operation, I don't want the mouse to move out of the outermost canvas if the drag operation is on. 

Best Regards,

Amit

No easy way to do this that I can think of.  Can you just "drop" when you get to the boundary instead?

Using the captureMouse method may be useful for you as well: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb412388.aspx#Implementing_Drag_and_Drop

In that case, if I move out of plugin with the left button down and enter the plugin again, it behaves in some unexpected manner.
