Remarks

Examples

Type: System.Drawing.Rectangle

The Rectangle that represents the clipping rectangle for the Cursor, in screen coordinates.

A clipped cursor is allowed to move only within its clipping rectangle. Generally, the system allows this only if the

mouse is currently captured. If the cursor is not currently clipped, the resulting rectangle contains the dimension

the entire screen.

The following code example creates a cursor from the Current cursor's Handle, changes its position and clipping

rectangle. The result is the cursor will move up and to the left 50 pixels from where it is when the code is execute

Additionally, the cursor's clipping rectangle is changed to the bounds of the form (by default it is the user's whole

screen). This example requires that you have a Form and a Button to call this code when it is clicked.
