NAME

SDL::Mouse - SDL Bindings for the Mouse device

CATEGORY

Core, Mouse

CONSTANTS

The constants for SDL::Mouse belong to SDL::Events/SDL::Event, under the export tag of ':state'.

METHODS

warp_mouse

SDL::Mouse::warp_mouse( $x, $y );

Set the position of the mouse cursor (generates a mouse motion event). Even if the mouse is warped to where it currently is, a mouse motion event is generated.

set_cursor

SDL::Mouse::set_cursor( $cursor_object );

Sets the currently active cursor to the specified one. See SDL::Cursor for details on cursor objects. If the cursor is currently visible, the change will be immediately represented on the display. set_cursor() can be used to force cursor redraw, if this is desired for any reason.

get_cursor

my $cursor_object = SDL::Mouse::get_cursor;

Gets the currently active mouse cursor.

show_cursor

my $return = SDL::Mouse::show_cursor( $state );

Toggle whether or not the cursor is shown on the screen. Passing SDL_ENABLE displays the cursor and passing SDL_DISABLE hides it. The current state of the mouse cursor can be queried by passing SDL_QUERY, either SDL_DISABLE or SDL_ENABLE will be returned.

SDL::init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);
SDL::Video::set_video_mode(640, 480, 16, SDL_SWSURFACE);

printf("Cursor is %s\n", SDL::Mouse::show_cursor(SDL_QUERY) ? 'visible' : 'not visible');

sleep(3);

SDL::Mouse::show_cursor(SDL_DISABLE);
printf("Cursor is %s\n", SDL::Mouse::show_cursor(SDL_QUERY) ? 'visible' : 'not visible');

sleep(3);

SDL::Mouse::show_cursor(SDL_ENABLE);
printf("Cursor is %s\n", SDL::Mouse::show_cursor(SDL_QUERY) ? 'visible' : 'not visible');
