Locking the mouse in windowed mode

I know the mouse automatically locks into the window in maximized window mode, but does anyone know how to do it in regular windowed mode. Basically I just want to make it so the mouse doesn't leave the window so I can scroll around the map with it.

Thanks

After 5min of googling and 5min of testing with D2, i can recommend Cursor Lock 2.5.1 found here , you can try other programs (mostly they are shareware thou) also if it dosn't work at start , try to set up hotkeys and cycle lock mode (D2 with glidewrapper had this progblem somehow...)

EDIT: i tested it with SC2 windowed and it actually works (scrolling)

As far as I know, there's no way to do this. I started a thread in the suggestion forum for them to add it:

edge scrolling is the past, mouse3 scrolling is the future!

I really hate how hard my middle mouse button is to press in (logitech g5) it just feels unnatural

It's a shame because edge scrolling is really jerky in SC2 for me while mouse3 scrolling is smooth at the same speed

Wow, just tried drag scrolling and it's pretty sweet, though definitely something I need to get used to.

Cursor Lock is acting kind of dumb in Windows 7 so I'll probably just go with Mouse3 scrolling.

There is a button on the top right, the farthest left button, click it.
:D
I believe this button locks it in the window, and if you want to disable this or close it after you click it, hold alt and you can move outside the window
