PutMouseEventAbsolute function produces a click with -2 offset on each coordinate -> duplicate of #7566

[Sergey]

I am using VirtualBox SDK to move/click mouse on guest from app running on host through IMouse interface. I've noticed that when I call PutMouseEventAbsolute(x, y, 0, 0, 1) the real click happens at (x-2,y-2) position.

GA are installed, but Mouse Integration is disabled for the guest.

I have created .NET wrapper for VirtualBox.exe with tlbimp tool.

My program looks like this:

/

VirtualBoxClass vbc = new VirtualBoxClass(); IMachine vm = vbc.FindMachine("w7");

SessionClass s = new SessionClass();

vm.LockMachine(s, LockType.LockType_Shared);

s.Console.Mouse.PutMouseEventAbsolute(100, 100, 0, 0, 1);

/

the click happens at (98,98)

This ticket is a duplicate of #7566. Actually there is only a single pixel difference, as the API officially uses an origin of (1, 1) for reasons no one can remember. Which no one wants to change now.
