John: Get mouse to return the mouse location or, if you need the data only when the mouse is over a specific object, you can use On mouse enter to enable your event handler and then shut it off On mouse leave. If the object in question doesn't respond to those events, you could either put a very large button over the object or, if that won't work, create a "border fence" around the object to capture the mouse enter and mouse exit.
Once the mouse is in the hot zone, the event handler will monitor the event queue and you can capture use of the spacebar using the event handler and the Keystroke command. -- Douglas von Roeder 949-336-2902 On Fri, Oct 21, 2016 at 2:58 PM, truegold <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey Tim, > > > Yes, that is how you would handle knowing if the space bar was pressed. > Use ON EVENT CALL. > > > Well the challenge is that I need it to run all the time the mouse is over > the digram.
