MouseHideAndLock Plugin

[Nixx]

With this plugin, when you launch a game after 2 sec :

Your mouse go back to your Primary monitor.
The cursor turn invisible after being idle for 2 sec, but if you move it, it show up again.
There is a clip that prevent going outside your primary monitor except if you press Shift while moving the cursor out of your main monitor.

For me, this has multiple purpose.
First, when playing on my multiple PC monitor, i can still use my mouse to go outside my Main screen and do stuff like browsing without having my cursor hidden.
Second, when playing on my TV, i can't go out my TV monitor by mistake.

 

Configuration : Tools -> MouseHide Configuration and your select the Plateform/Emulator for witch this plugin apply.

Be sure to disable some stuff on the option that could interfere with cursor hidding :

Obviously, Emulator option to hide cursor should be disabled

Hide mouse Cursor on Startup Screen should be off 

There is the same option in bigbox that should be off too.

Btw, in retroarch, if you don't want pause when you go outside your screen : pause_nonactive = "false"

It's my first plugin, so if something went wrong don't be mad (worst case, your cursor turn invisible and you have to logout/login)

This is cool.  I use the LaunchBox settings to hide my cursor but sometimes I want to use my mouse for a few minutes while I configure a game.  Do you mind sharing the source code for the plug-in?

Yep sure, but it's kind of ugly
