There are plenty of ways this should work... a timed message sent every x milliseconds from a frontscripted palette or hidden script should be able to intercept your information every 10th of a second and be unintrusive (while the mouse is up)...
im pretty sure it should work... The palette and your script could interact via a global. This is a mix of how my resizeNO2 and HotKeyNO2 stacks work... It only become intrussive if you catch events too often or if you try to get too much information... cheers Xavier > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Richard Gaskin > Sent: Saturday, September 10, 2005 10:13 > To: How to use Revolution > Subject: Re: More drawing tool woes: no mouseDown or mouseUp sent? > > MisterX wrote: > > Richard, > > > > Can't you set up either > > > > A frontscript that traps mousedown and up before your controls... > > this front scripts remembers where that happened and passes it or > > treats the value... > > That one won't work, because there is not message to trap at > any level if the pointer tool is active. :( > > > An alternative is to have a card framework that does all the events > > instead of having the controls in the card relay the > events.
