Re: mouse trouble

I'm not familiar with hacking KDE, so I can't offer you any specific advice, but I'd suggest that it would be easier to use Perl to open up the files that store the puzzles and read them to get your data, rather than try to control the GUI itself. Once you have the data, it's just a matter of manipulating it and figuring out a way to print directions on how to solve the puzzle. Hope that helps.

Er yeeessss... but this seems to be a GUI problem. There is no way to signal to an app that the mouse ran over it from a script without actually moving the mouse. So how do u move the mouse pointer from software i.e a script rather than thru hardware i.e actually moving it. I want to do this as a small example style solving and don't have the energy to hack the sokoban source which is in major C++. So is there a way this bang can be done. I mean press M-23-45 and say have the mouse pointer move there. Windows has the mousekeys as an aceesibility feature and mebe that can be hacked but what about KDE or Gnome. Could u tell me a newsgroup or something to ask this q on? Thanks	[reply]
