Foxpro 2.00 Mouse control

[rowin]

I am using Foxpro under dosbox, a linux emulator.

Within FP applications the mouse is sloppy. It waves about rather than moving promptly to its destination.

In a dosbox conference it was suggested that it was a bug in FP. I wonder if anyone here knows how to adjust the mouse's response. I have tried the mouse as both usb and serial

It is strange. On Windows in dos window is mouse quick and everything seems ok.
It could be triggered by the way how foxpro handles mouse ..., but I don't know any bug in mouse handling.

If it were me attempting to diagnose the problem I would first run it in a REAL DOS environment to see how the mouse behaved.

If it ran OK, then the problem is somewhere else other than in FP itself or the FP application - perhaps in the DOSBox emulation and/or its capability to handle FP or perhaps somewhere else.

Good Luck,

I will say that FoxDos under running Microsoft VPC the same issue happens (at least for me) . No Solution, I have just lived with it.

I have found a partial solution.

SET MOUSE TO 1

I have created a PLB lib. where you can call mouse interrupts directly from fox.
So there is possibility to reset or set mouse and so on.
Here is a link to lib. and simple test PRG
