Virtual Mouse Management

Figure "Virtual Mouse Management"

For mouse input, the PMShield will transform mouse event messages into calls to the Mouse VDD. The conversation will require a mapping of the physical mouse position reported by Presentation Manager to a corresponding position within the VDM's screen dimensions.

A VDM can change the state of its virtual pointer in various ways:

  • Change pointer position

  • Change pointer shape

  • Change pointer scaling factors.

    These special changes are of no interest to PMShield.
