Hello!
First of all, I'm using Visual Studio 2005 C++ and .net Framework.
I have two question for slightly similar cases:
1. I'm developing a "kind of ultra simplified web browser" for people with disabilities, I have replaced the cursor for a custom one (actually I just hided the real one and showing a fake one). Every time I want to click on a hyperlink I need to precisely position the cursor over the linked object, let's say a precise point. When the hyperlink is a picture or something relatively big there is no problem, but when the linked object is text, is a nightmare for people with mobility disabilities to precisely position the cursor over the text. I was wondering ... "
How can I create something like a -magnetic - hyperlink that could attract the cursor when a certain proximity is detected?" For example if the cursor is positioned within 10 pixels of distance from the "area" with the hyperlink, the cursor will move automatically to that new position. Sample

2.- The second case is similar, but in this case I have a "target cursor" instead of an arrow cursor. In addition, the "hand" was replaced with an "active target" for those cases in which there is a hyperlink detected by the cursor.
How can make the target to become active target whenever the hyperlink is detected within its "target area?" even 1 pixel inside the area would trigger that activation and of course if clicked would proceed accordingly. Sample

I hope you understand what I'm trying to explain.
Thanks in advance.
