hi Sup Forums, i wonder if you can help me find a piece of software. i'm not sure if it even exists.
basically, it would let you draw the dimensions of a box and it would then force the mouse to stay within that box. you'd have to use a hotkey to make the program quit.
it seems simple enough but i can't find the right search terms for google to give me anything usable.
thanks!
Here's a program that does exactly what you need:

I don't know of any pre-made software that can do this, but it would be piss easy to do with an AutoIt script.
i have something similar, it's a software that will keep the mouse inside an opened window
i can get you a link for a few bucks, we can do bitcoin if u want
how can I register on Sup Forums? Cheers
fucking make it yourself you nipwit
Followup post: If you want to do this in C++ then you would just use the ClipCursor function.

that's a really nice find, thanks user.
5bux ain't a big deal, i'll keep the thread open tho in case anyone can find a FOSS alt.
my kung-fu isn't strong enough, i can barely manage powershell.
This program is literally just calling this function.
i think i found something.

almost, almost, tempted to make it for you
well that'd be very nice of you. with an interface and everything? i'd seriously appreciate it.
my email's fun [at] penis [dot] house.
the window in question is VMWare workstation, so keeping it within there is pointless - it needs to be within a pre-defined area.
also i'm well aware this is a troll post
autohotkey.com
Install AutoHotkey an this should be in an .ahk file:
ClipCursor( Confine=True, x1=0 , y1=0, x2=1, y2=1 ) {
VarSetCapacity(R,16,0), NumPut(x1,&R+0),NumPut(y1,&R+4),NumPut(x2,&R+8),NumPut(y2,&R+12)
Return Confine ? DllCall( "ClipCursor", UInt,&R ) : DllCall( "ClipCursor" )
}
f1::
WinGetPos, VarX, VarY, Width, Height, A
VarX2 := VarX + Width
VarY2 := VarY + Height
ClipCursor( True, VarX, VarY, VarX2, VarY2)
Return
f2::ClipCursor( False,0,0,0,0)
F1 enables mouse lock on current window, F2 disables. Modify ClipCursor function calls if you need a specific rect position
oh wow, thank you so much! i'll definitely use this.
just so i don't fuck up immediately: which line am i modifying to use a specific rectangle?
Looks to me like the first line. x1 and y1 are the top left point, x2 and y2 are the bottom right.
why does a function like that even exist?
The last one. The 0,0,0,0 arguments are x1,y1,x2,y2, so if you want a box rectangle from (5,5) to (50,60) you enter (5,5,50,60)
Those are the default arguments
Whoops, yeah, ignore me. I just woke up and apparently can't read yet.

You know about computers? That sounds hot. Wanna cum over to my place later and fuck? Here's my email:
