mouse button

[Aaron]

I recently downloaded a LabView vi that allows us to track the position of
the mouse cursor. Does anyone know how to write (or where to find) a similar
vi that would return the logic of the mouse buttons (pressed or not pressed)?

Thanks much in advance,
Aaron

Aaron,

Here is a link. I found a couple others too on NI's website.

There was one that seemed simpler than this, referencing just a couple of
dll calls. It was for labwindows/CVI which is C code, so I stayed away from
that one. Search NI's resource library if you're interested in the C code
(use 'mouse down' as keywords).

Put a picture control over the area of interest and make it transparent,
then you can snag the mouse xy and buttons (including meta) from the
properties node. I hacked a chunk of code that let the user relocate a
window using the pointer anywhere in a window and killed off the ugly
Windows title bar/min/max/close bar at the top. Looks way cool, uses no
major resources when not moving and I have control of things instead of
Windows... Let me know if you want an example...

Thomas:

I would love to get a copy of that code. I downloaded the files that Jared
suggested, but I only have LabView5.0 (and need v 5.1 to run those files).
You could email them to me, or point me to an ftp site. Thanks !!
