Thanks for the thought Geekmaster, but I'm equally new to C, so I'll stick to python for now.

Fantastic W126 - didn't realise getting the mouse pos was that easy!

I like the idea of speeding up the mouse refresh rate, that makes a lot of sense. Originally, I was planning to pan the screen around with the mouse. I know this will be incompatible with your idea, but for those wanting a bigger desktop, here's the code to insert...

      memory.SelectObject(bitmap)

#    beginning of inserted code

      offsetx=0
      offsety=0

      pos=wx.GetMousePosition()
     
      if pos.x>w/2:
        offsetx+=pos.x-w/2

      if pos.x>screenw-w/2:
        offsetx=screenw-w

      if pos.y>h/2:
        offsety+=pos.y-h/2

      if pos.y>screenh-h/2:
        offsety=screenh-h

      
      memory.Blit(0, 0, w, h, context, offsetx, offsety)
      
      (cw,ch)=memory.GetTextExtent('>X<')
      memory.DrawText('>X<',(pos.x-cw/2)-offsetx, (pos.y-ch/2)-offsety)
      
#    end of inserted code

      memory.SelectObject(wx.NullBitmap)

You'll also need to add the following above it...

w,h=(706,600)

# beginning of inserted code

# your actual monitor resolution
screenw,screenh=(1280,720)

# end of inserted code

#width and height of capture region

Admittedly, it's more than a little clunky like that but if you need a bigger screen, or even to get those few pixels to the right that can't be shown on an 800x600 screen.

Nice!
