Would that code allow you to output any computation to the status bar or message window? I would like to make a ruler tool that could give a continuous output of number of rows (allowing the user to set the row width) and everytime the user clicks it places a point where they clicked. I've done it in a VB web client control, but without the mousemove event, couldn't figger out a way of triggering a recalculation.

Then another tool that would allow you to move a line and everytime you stopped moving it, it would calculate the area that that line would split the polygon it overlays by.

I remember the discussion and challenge on this list, but didn't follow it up then. Too many fires to put out in the software at that stage, but am ready to do some cuter stuff now.

Heh heh... You better hope you have plenty of ketchup, because I'm afraid you're going to have to eat those words!

It HAS been done -- six or seven years ago by Robert Edwards of
The MapTools Company. He extended MapBasic's capability through
the use of some Windows APIs and the running output went into the
status bar or the mesage window, but I thought it was a pretty
clever *tour de force* demonstrating CAN to those who were sure
about CAN'T! ;-)

It was called XMouse and you could get it and the source code
with his MapTools SDK fo $50.
