Re: mouseControl

2012-01-23 Thread dunbarx
Jerry.


Nothing to do with a message. I was testing the value of a function. Most other 
such things work:



on mouseUp
  repeat until the mouseclick
   put the mouseH & "," & the mouseV
  end repeat
end mouseUp
This very nicely tracks the loc of the cursor. Always did. It is something 
about some functions. "wait with messages"
has fixed things before, just not sure why. I guess it could be that some 
things take longer to process.

Because no new messages get noticed during execution of a handler unless there 
is a wait . . . with messages.

Try "repeat until the mouse is down" … if that doesn't work, add in "wait 0 
milliseconds with messages" inside your repeat loop; you may need to give LC 
time to get the message to respond

Try "repeat until the mouse is down" … if that doesn't work, add in "wait 0
