A function to lock mouse inside app window if it's active

[Dreikblack]

Code snippet how i manage to do in in OpenGL loop

 if (hwnd == GetActiveWindow())
 {
     static RECT oldRect;
     RECT newRect;
     GetWindowRect(hwnd, &newRect);
     if (memcmp(&oldRect, &newRect, sizeof(RECT)) == 0) {
         ClipCursor(&newRect);
     }
     oldRect = newRect;
 }

Yes this would be good.  Window::ClipCursor() maybe?

What would you use this for? If the window is fullscreen, you have nothing to worry about. If the window is not fullscreen, you presumably want to be able to click on another window to select it.

Even with fullscreen cursor going out of window which can be annoying for moving camera by putting cursor near screen border in tactic and strategy games, I want to have it as an option game settings.

If it's fullscreen, how can the cursor go outside the window?

[Dreikblack]

It goes to other screen

[Josh]

With multiple monitors?

[Dreikblack]

Yes

That makes a lot more sense now.
