Capturing Mouse Move event at OS level

[Vasanth]

Hello Everyone,

              I need to capture the mouse move event in LabVIEW at OS level. Whenever the OS encounters a mouse move event, I need  to register that as a User event in LabVIEW. How can I do that?

Thanks,

Vasanth.

My cursor movement is not only limited to the LabVIEW vi. I can move my cursor anywhere on the screen.

Duplicate.

Vasanth, you should limit this question to the other thread or at least include a link to it to avoid having people give you the same answer that you got there and wasting their time.

As suggested in the other thread, you can write a global hook in C and use a callback function to get the event, but this has nothing to do with LV, really.

Another option is that the OS itself already has such a thing, but that also has nothing to do with LV and I suggest you search in a place which has data relevant to your OS.

Sorry,

          I didnt intend to do that. I was trying to create a new topic because what I have asked varied slightly from the topic I have used in the previous thread. I wont repeat suit hereafter.

          Oh, so I cannot do that with LV is it? Well, ok, let me see in other websites dealing with OS then. Thanks for your suggestions.

Thanks,

Vasanth.
