Relative pointer movement

Post by MrScotty »

Hi,

Don't know if somebody already requested this.
The latest RealVNC supports Relative pointer movements. (part of the gii pseudo encoding?). I would like this also in UltraVNC.
We use an application on the server which programmatically postion the cursor, when moving the cursor on the client it (re)sets the cursor position on the server.

I like to know if something like this is planned in the near future.

Thanks in advandce and keep up the good work :)

When the server pointer is moved it is shown on the viewer. The customer can show his problem.
However when i move the cursor on the viewer the server will get this (absolute) position.
I have a case where you push a button on an application and the application positions the cursor. The pointer is shown/drawn on the new position on the viewer. When i move the mouse on the viewer side the cursor jumps back to the button. The actual windows cursor position between the server and the client are out of sync. The relative pointer movement option in RealVNC seems to solve this behaviour

Hope this explains it a little more.
