Hi,

is there a way to watch only mouse messages? Down, up, leave, enter, etc.. handler or not.

Sorry, no idea what you are after!

Oops, didn't know my english was that bad

I want to watch the messages as they are being send.
I opened the Message Watcher but there are soooo many messages I want to filter them to only show me some.
More precisely only those related to the mouse. MouseUp, mouseDown, ....
I enabled / disabled several checkboxes but was unable to get the result.

My question: is it possible to do this with the Message Watcher? If not is there another way?

Best regards,

Dag Marc,

your english is probably better than my dutch, I was just no getting what exactly you wanted

OK, I never used the Message watcher for exactly that reason you were experiencing: infomation overload!
I would create a frontsript that catches all the mouse events you want ot "spot".

Create a button with all the mouse scripts you want to watch and "insert" it into front.

Someting like this:

Code: Select all

on mouseup
  put "Mouseup" && the milliseconds & CR after fld "my personal message watcher"
  ## Or whatever you like...

  pass mouseup
end mouseup

on mouseleave
  put "mouseleave" && the milliseconds & CR after fld "my personal message watcher"
  pass mouseleave
end mouseup
## Etc. for all other mouse stuff...

Best

Hi Marc,
I think you are asking about the mouseLoc?
But it doesn't give up, down, right , left you have to code that yourself.

Edit: or what Klaus says.

Hi Simon. I am looking for messages actually, thanks anyway.

@klaus: also thanks. I thought as much. I think the message watcher could do with an option 'only allow' i will put in a enhancement request.
I will try it your way.

I'm still learning what messages are being send or not being send at any time.

Actually I want the name of the group the mouse is over at the moment the mouse is released when the mouse first clicked on another group.
If you now understand what I mean you get some bonus points

Mouseup will not do as that is never send. Mouserelease will get you the group of the first click... Mousewithin maybe?

Best regards,
Marc

Marc.

This is a terrific idea. The message watcher is great at filtering OUT messages, but terrible at ALLOWING only certain ones. Please do put this into the "feature request" section.
