Examples
Snippet: The following snippet isn't runnable/compilable, but it showcases the use of the _MOUSEPIPEOPEN function.
mDown = 0 mUp = 0 mEvent = 0 IF VkMousePipe = 0 THEN VkMousePipe = _MOUSEPIPEOPEN 'create new pipe END IF DO WHILE _MOUSEINPUT(VkMousePipe) mb = _MOUSEBUTTON(1, VkMousePipe) mx = _MOUSEX(VkMousePipe) my = _MOUSEY(VkMousePipe) IF _PIXELSIZE = 0 THEN 'screen 0 adjustment mx = mx * 8 - 4 my = my * 16 - 8 END IF IF mb = -1 AND omb = 0 THEN mDown = -1: mEvent = 1: EXIT DO if VkMousePipeCapture=0 then _MOUSEINPUTPIPE VkMousePipe end if IF mb = 0 AND omb = -1 THEN VkMousePipeCapture=0 mUp = -1 mEvent = 1 EXIT DO end if LOOP omb = mb rootId = VkByRole("ROOT") editMode = VK(rootId).locked IF mDown THEN mDownX = mx mDownY = my i2 = 0 FOR internal = 1 TO 0 STEP -1 FOR i = VkLast TO 1 STEP -1 IF VK(i).active THEN IF VK(i).internal = internal THEN x = VK(i).x * VkUnitSize y = VK(i).y * VkUnitSize w = VK(i).w h = VK(i).h x1 = INT(x) x2 = INT(x + VkUnitSize * w) - 1 y1 = sy - 1 - INT(y) y2 = sy - 1 - INT(y + VkUnitSize * h) + 1 IF mx >= x1 AND mx <= x2 AND my >= y2 AND my <= y1 THEN i2 = i EXIT FOR END IF END IF END IF NEXT IF i2 THEN EXIT FOR NEXT IF i2 THEN VkI = i2 VKoldX = VK(i2).x VKoldY = VK(i2).y VKdragging = 0 VKstart = TIMER(0.001) 'VK(i2).held = -1 VkKeyDown i2 VkMousePipeCapture=1 END IF IF VkMousePipeCapture = 0 THEN _MOUSEINPUTPIPE VkMousePipe END I
- When using the virtual keyboard, the keyboard captures mouse input appropriately whilst selectively letting presses originating on non-key areas of the screen filter through to the default mouse queue.
