MouseCursorImage's click area

[Excizted]

Hello,

Based on the ThararezLook I've created my own GUI sheet which works perfectly.
I've run into a bump though. I've got a MouseCursorImage on my editable boxes, that looks like the windows one.

It has those horizontal lines which gives it a larger width. So when I click in my editbox, the text carat moves to where the left corner of my mousecursorimage is rather than the middle of the mousecursorimage, which is the windows-style.

I tried messing with properties, but without success.

What to do, what to do?

The way to do this is to specify an offset for the image in the imageset. This offset shifts the image so that the 'hot-spot' for the mouse appears at the correct location. For instance if the horizontal centre point is 10 pixels in, you specify an XOffset attribute of -10 (the negative is important since you're shifting the image not the hot spot), and also do a similar thing for YOffset.

So, taken from TaharezLook, we have this:

Code: Select all

<Image Name="MouseMoveCursor" XPos="201" YPos="127" Width="18" Height="18" XOffset="-8" YOffset="-8" />

HTH

Thank you so much, that was simple
And good job on understanding the question, I just re-read it, I don't think I was very clear

Thanks, I've had a fair amount of practice at deciphering the content of people's posts
