How to check if the mouse control is inside VM console?

Hi,

I'm opening a vcloud director vm console in a browser through an automation script and moving my mouse control to the vm console.

i want to verify whether the mouse pointer is inside the vm console or in the physical machine.

Is there a way in which i can find out where the mouse control is ?

what would be the difference in the properties of a mouse control when it is inside a vm console and physical machine ?

Thanks

on newer versions of vCD, the default console requires VMware Tools to have a working mouse pointer.  it's based on relative mouse movement in a VNC style access.

Older versions of the default console were more like the old fat vSphere client, and worked without it ... but this style of console is not easily available in vCloud Director (unless you use internet explorer).
