Re: MouseFilter

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

The idea is to simulate mousemovement in any windows program or Directxinput
based app/game.
I want to let the cursor move with data from my own app and the mouse it
self shouldn't interfere with the movement even if you would move the mouse.
Actually its just that i want to replace the mouse as input device for a
period and let the cursor move by my program.
I wanted to try it with a filter but come to think about it im not sure
anymore.
Is this idea possible with a filter?
