2540.0. "Positioning the Pointer?" by WPOMM2::ZAMBOTTI () Thu Mar 29 1990 05:17

    Hello xlibrary (x window) programmers,
    
    I know it can be done because I have seen DEC window applications do
    it.
    
    Do what, do what...
    
    I would like to control where within a window the pointer may be moved
    and even place the pointer in program predefined positions.
    
    Interleaf for DEC windows does this and I now need to do this for an
    application I am porting to DEC windows.
    
    Does anyone know what routines can do this?  If someone replies 
    XMovePointer or XControlPointer or similar that would be great!
    
    Any ideas,
    
    Walter Zambotti.

And use the "confine_to" window for the other part.  This can be specified on
XGrabButton and its friends to keep the pointer within the specified window.
