event on picture without click

[ZazOufUmI]

Hi,

I'm asking if it's possible to get an event without click_event ?

Let me explain : I have a picture and I would like to collect the GetRelativeMouseState without clicking on this picture.

Is it possible ?

Thank you

yes, it's possible: You can use timer events. Have a look at the example moustate.cws

I will check it out thank you

Also, if all you want to do is to get the mouse position when the mouse moves over the picture, instead of continuously, even when the mouse isn't moving, then all you need to do is to catch the EVENT_MOUSE_POINTER_MOVE event in the picture's callback function. The mouse position is supplied to the callback via the event data parameters.

If you want to catch mouse moves outside of the picture control boundary as well, then you could catch the event in the panel callback instead.
