I find it interesting that you mention Code::Blocks, and Dev-Cpp, but forget
to mention the wxDev-C++ project, which is Dev-Cpp with an integrated
wxWidgets form designer, precompiled libraries and program templates.

It makes installing/working with a Dev-Cpp IDE for wxWidgets a piece of
cake. No need to download libraries and hope they work, with wxDev-C++ it is
install and run.

Best
Mal

Hey Guys,
   I'm looking to replicate vmware style behaviour when it comes to mouse
capturing. I want my widgets program to capture the mouse and lock it inside
the panel.
Then when a key is pressed it releases the mouse in order for it to be used
in other software. Similiar to vmware operating in a window.

I tried using the CaptureMouse() method but instead of moving the mouse into
my window it brought up a windows wait mouse pointer, the egg timer.
I'm also handing mouse capture lost and calling ReleasMouse() when it
occurs.

Any guidance on how to get my program to grab the mouse and not let it out
of the frame, would be much appreciated.

 There is no equivalent of Win32 TrackMouseEvent() in wx so you're going to
have trouble doing this efficiently.

 CaptureMouse() doesn't move mouse at all (WarpPointer() does this) but
neither does it change the cursor.

u can use the win32 method SetCursorPos to set the mouse position.
