I have created a custom skin, but now wonder if it can be locked in a certain screen position on my monitor.

ie. So the skin can't be dragged around.

Anyone know if this can be done?

Thanks in advance..

The Les Crapuilot (sp?) skin (aka the gecko skin) does this. I believe they
use an absolutely maximized skin window that's transparent, and then just a
subview in one area of the skin to draw there.

A dumb approach.. but should work..

Try adding a onmouseout event handler to the main view and move th
whole view to the original position.

Good Luck!

Hi Sridhar!

I'm not really a shark with that scripting you suggest.
Would you perhaps give an example, or a link to where it's used?
I need this function for a kiosk/fingertouch player. Where I don't what the
user to be able to move a fullscreen (perhaps maximized) player. Or if it's
not possible, I want the player to move in place afterward (as I believe is
your suggestion)
Thanks in advance
/best regards Simon K

I put a copy of it temporarily up here:
http://www.zachd.com/pss/Le%20Crapouillot.wmz
(let me know if you're the author and want it down - I'll be taking it down
pretty quick anyways).

In particular, you'll note the screen-wide unmovable-by-you geckos.

I haven't seen any other skins do anything of this nature, which is why this
was the first skin that came to mind.

Hmm

Came up with an unusual but effective solution: I Mapped the entire
background (all that was not buttons) to ONE button, that nothing happened
when it was pressed. Now you can't move the skin!

try adding a onmouseout event to the main view and in the event handler
move the whole view back to the original position.

Hi Gurivireddy

Can you show this in code - I don't quite know how to get it done.

Thanks!
