I don't know of anything that does what you want, although someone might. Is this 'other developer' someone you know?

Yes, it is. But I am performing independent testing and cannot ask him to change his program until testing is complete when I have found a problem and/or can make a request for a "I'd like to have" feature but it most likely would not be put in, in the interest of getting this version out the door ASAP. Basically, he cannot modify the program until testing is done, and we will have to perform regression testing and retesting for any fixed problems.

movement to only 4-directions? Sort of like a 4-way joystick but it must be seen as a mouse. In other words, make it seem like my mouse could only move in straight horizontal or vertical directions instead of any direction. I'm testing another developer's program and need for a zoom rectangle to be completely straight with unmoved corners as I draw the zoom rectangle selection area. I basically need to anchor the lower left corner as I move to define the lower right corner. Of course, the zoom selection rectangle starts by clicking the left mouse button down to define the starting upper left corner. P.S. I've googled for the past two hours and have found some programs that let your mouse emulate a joystick (not helpful) and I actually considered if I had a 4-way gamepad to use programs I've found that would let your joystick/gamepad emulate your mouse. TIA
With each movement of the mouse, there's an X and a Y travel. If the travel in say X direction is bigger than the Y - for example, 40 pixels movements in +ve X direction, and 3 pixels in +ve Y direction. Then ignore the Y movement by resetting the mouse pointer as if it were only moved in X direction. I'd think that it won't take a lot of efforts to write it yourself. :)

I guess the correct answer is, drum roll..... the texture. ;P

Use mouse keys: Microsoft Windows users can enable the accessibility feature to move the mouse using their arrow keys by following the below steps. 1. Click Start, Settings, Control Panel. 2. Within the Control Panel open Accessibility Options or Ease of Access 3. Click the Mouse tab. 4. Check the "Use Mouse Keys" check box. 5. If you wish to increase the speed or change any other settings, click on the Settings button. 6. Click Apply and then close out of the box. After performing the above steps you will be able to used the numeric keypad as a mouse moving up, down, left, right, and all the diagonals. In addition, you may also use the center "5" key as a left click.

Well look at that, an actually useful answer! :thumbsup:

Oh that's right. Go right ahead and spoil a perfectly absurdist thread with some rational academic explanation. Mister Party, that who you are. Sheesh.

Technically, the mouse only moves in straight horizontal and vertical motions. The only reason it "looks" like the mouse goes in a diagonal line is because the increments are smaller than your eye will pick up.
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

How can the answer be anything but color?
The fruit exists without a name. The color exists without a name. Which are you going to describe first? The fruit which helps you to exist or a color which is worthless at helping you to exist. Personally, I think the tribe that named the color died out and we don't know what they called it. The tribe that named the fruit improved their hunt/gather community to the point they had idle time enough to notice the color of the fruit and lazy enough to have both meanings covered by one word.
