 Posted: Wed Apr 23, 2008 5:55 pm Post subject: Need help with OnMessage |
 |
|
I tried adapting the following example from the documentation.
I'm new to OnMessage, but I've read all the help files and can't see the problem.
Could someone please point out what I'm missing?
Thanks much.
| Code: | ;Example from documentation
OnMessage(0x5555, "MsgMonitor")
OnMessage(0x5556, "MsgMonitor")
MsgMonitor(wParam, lParam, msg)
{
; Since returning quickly is often important, it is better to use a ToolTip than
; something like MsgBox that would prevent the function from finishing:
ToolTip Message %msg% arrived:`nWPARAM: %wParam%`nLPARAM: %lParam%
} |
| Code: | ;My attempt to adapt the above examlpe to monitor mouse movement (WM_MOUSEMOVE = 0x200)
OnMessage(0x200, "MsgMonitor")
MsgMonitor(wParam, lParam, msg)
{
ToolTip Message %msg% arrived:`nWPARAM: %wParam%`nLPARAM: %lParam%
} |
Edit: I also tried this, which didn't work either
| Code: | OnMessage(0x200, "WM_MOUSEMOVE")
return
WM_MOUSEMOVE(wParam, lParam, msg)
{
ToolTip Message %msg% arrived:`nWPARAM: %wParam%`nLPARAM: %lParam%
} |
EDIT_2: I'm pretty sure I'm doing something very fundamentally wrong because I have just tried the following without success.
| Code: | OnMessage(0x21, "WM_MOUSEMOVE")
OnMessage(0xA0, "WM_MOUSEMOVE")
OnMessage(0x200, "WM_MOUSEMOVE")
OnMessage(0x20A, "WM_MOUSEMOVE")
OnMessage(0x2A1, "WM_MOUSEMOVE")
OnMessage(0x2A2, "WM_MOUSEMOVE")
OnMessage(0x2A3, "WM_MOUSEMOVE")
return
WM_MOUSEMOVE(wParam, lParam, msg)
{
ToolTip Message %msg% arrived:`nWPARAM: %wParam%`nLPARAM: %lParam%
} |

wm_mousemove will only register mouse movements on the scripts own window. Is that what you wanted???

thanks for the reply.
No that's not what I want.
I would like to know whenever the mouse makes any physical move in any window.
This is so that the script can release the Lbutton so as not to drag things it shoudn't when user moves mouse.
Any ideas? |

No, infact, the script will be dragging from time to time
In between dragging Lbutton should release but sometimes it doesn't and then when user moves the mouse it causes things to get dragged which is very troublesome.
Edit: the script I'm using is basically this one:

| Others may feel differently but I feel that this is an acceptable bump based on the low difficulty level and the line count. |

So OnMessage will not work as you want.
You might want to try something like this:
| Code: | #SingleInstance, force
#Persistent
#NoEnv
; your code here
SetTimer, checkMouse,100 ; set to what ever period you desire
; more of your code here
return
checkMouse:
MouseGetPos, newX, newY
if (newX != oldX) or (newY != oldY) {
ToolTip, Mouse moved - newX: %newX% newY: %newY%
oldX := newX, oldY := newY
}
return
