A program uses mousemove to get stylus x,y coords, problem is when its over a control, such as an imagebox etc, the x,y values arent changed?!

Is there any way of getting mouse/stylus coordinates even when its moving over a button or box etc?

great if...

Is there such commands like
controlmouse.x
I didn't know that?

Update; just tried & it didn't work. anybody know if there is a variablw which holds the mouse position <without having to get it passed from a Mousemove(x,y) event?>

It is possible using the Door library.
You will need to add an Event object for each control (see the source code).

Mousemove works great but is there a way to pickup mousedown with the door.dll. or do i have to use image button.
also could someone make a chm for the door.dll?

BTW Erel thanks for this easy developing tool, even though the door is complcating for this old geezer.

There is a chm file for the door library (part of Basic4ppc V6.30).
The door library does require some knowledge of the .Net Framework. It is only intended to complete "small missing parts".

You can replace MouseMove with MouseDown and it should work properly.

You can also have a look at the joined demo.

You just need to add following libraries:
Door.dll
ImageLib.dll
dzEventsMagic / dzEventsMagicDesktop

Best regards
