FBB::Xpointer - Sets the location of the X-windows pointer
SYNOPSIS
#include <bobcat/xpointer>
Linking option: -lbobcat -lX11
DESCRIPTION
This class allows programs running within the X-graphical environment to
set and retrieve the X-windows pointer location.
NAMESPACE
FBB
All constructors, members, operators and manipulators, mentioned in this
man-page, are defined in the namespace FBB.

CONSTRUCTORS
Xpointer():
The default constructor. Connects to the Display. throws an Exception
exception if the display cannot be opened. With multiple Xpointer objects,
the connection to the display is opened only once.
This constructor throws an Exception exception if it could not connect
to the Display.
The copy constructor is available.
MEMBER FUNCTIONS
bool get(int *x, int *y) const:
Returns in its arguments the currnet pointer coordinates relative to
the root-window. On success true is returned; false is returned if the
pointer could not be moved.
bool set(int x, int y) const:
Sets the pointer to a location whose pixel coordinates are given with
respect to the root-window. A negative x-coordinate is measured from the
right screen-margin of the root window (going left), a negative y-coordinate
is measured from the bottom screen-margin of the root window (going up). On
success true is returned; false is returned if the pointer could not
be moved.
void verify() const:
Obsoleted, will be removed in a future Bobcat release.
EXAMPLE
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <bobcat/xpointer>
using namespace FBB;
int main()
try
{
Xpointer xpointer;
xpointer.verify();
if (!xpointer.set(100, 200))
throw string("Set pointer failed");
int x;
int y;
if (!xpointer.get(&x, &y))
throw string("Get pointer failed");
cout << "Pointer now at " << x << ", " << y << endl;
return 0;
}
catch (string msg)
{
cout << msg << endl;
return 1;
}
