Reduce Mouse Speed

Question

I am trying to create a simple application using canvas but I require to lower down the speed of mouse-move when I take the mouse over the canvas. I tried finding the solution on internet but couldn't.

I just wanted to know if it is possible can anyone help please.

Given that you're working with a canvas, you're likely making a game - and I'd say this might be more possible than you think. You probably won't be able to use the actual mouse pointer itself - probably not an issue if you have some mouse graphic available - but could have a "virtual" mouse using this, taking MouseMove events and multiplying them by some fraction. Unfortunately, I think you'd have to do a lot of the research yourself!
