Mouse Integration via vboxmanage

Post by luxcop »

Hi!

Currently we're implementing VirtualBox in our school, running on Mac OSX Hosts with a Windows XP VM.
The Windows XP VM is running in fullscreen mode and I disabled all the menus appearing around, except
the VirtualBox Bar appearing on top of screen, when Mouse Integration isn't disabled.
I wrote an applescript to disable Mouse Integration, but it doesn't work everytime.

Please, could you implement a function for example in vboxmanage to disable or enable mouse integration,
with permanent option :-).


Greeting and many thanks,

No idea what you do, but when I tell a VM to disable seamless mouse integration and shut it down, it stays disabled until I enable it again.

1. Disable USB Tablet. Main VBox Window: (VBox Manager)
VM->Settings->System->absolute pointing device
2. VM Window->Machine->Disable Mouse integration.

Not good enough ?
