yeah top bottom left right and the "start/stop" key. For Starting/stopping the form needs focus, or you'd have to use autohotkey? to transmit it to that app without focus
the mouse will temporary move out of the range and then move back, so this might not work for you because of that minor desync? without your setup I can't really test it
The "cage" needs to be a hard wall - like the edge of a monitor. As soon as I fire up VMware, I will test it and see how it performs.
I have no problems with needing to use autohotkey - the program will be able to have focus (although ideally, it should just move the mouse to some spot and then initialize with no dialog boxes or anything (perhaps a taskbar button?)
I will test the "bounciness" though and see if there is any. If so, it will desync the mice. If it acts as a hard edge then it should be perfect.
Tested it on a clean XP install. Had to install .Net 3.0 to get it to run.
It works but the bounciness might screw things up. If it could be made to be a simple "WALL" instead - it would be perfect. Perhaps instead of recalculating the mouse position, it could redefine the border? It would only need to define one X coord border really to function.
Would it be easier to modify WoW Maximizer?

It is open source - all it needs to do is add a wall to one edge of the window. I just lack the experience to do it with only a few minutes of work.
I went ahead and had this software written. It works very well. If anybody is interested in non-commercial use (not that its a complex program anyway) - PM me and let me know. Source is available.
