How to use switches?

[jediTofu]

I've tried both this:

System.setProperty("org.lwjgl.input.Mouse.allowNegativeMouseCoords","true");

And this in JVM args:

-Dorg.lwjgl.input.Mouse.allowNegativeMouseCoords=true

Neither worked.  How do I set this?

I'd really like negative mouse coords...any help
I thought that this was a noobie question, but no one has responded...

both the methods you mention in your first post are the correct ways to do it.

I'm not sure why it doesn't work but do remember its only for mouse positions while your dragging and not for general movement outside the window.

...only for mouse positions while your dragging...

Aw, that's lame   I guess that I could just make it where you have to drag.

Could this be implemented in the next version (and possibly with a set function instead)?  I guess I should have put this in the RFE forum...  I think that some rather unique games could use this.  If sounds unnecessary, no big deal then  .

hmm, so you want to get the global position of the mouse on the screen rather then the LWJGL Display?

pretty easy to do just use the following methods:

int mouseX = java.awt.MouseInfo.getLocation().x;
int mouseY = java.awt.MouseInfo.getLocation().y;

or alternatively you can use JInput to get mouse movement anywhere on the screen (yes even outside the Display).

well, I was just hoping I could use the Mouse class....but I will just use JInput more directly then.
