Hi!
I'm trying to get some mouse events using console.device, and I've been
running into problems.
I asked for raw events 2,4,11,12 ( <CSI>2;4;11;12{ ), and successfully
received 2,11,12 . However, I managed only to get the button status, but
not the mouse position. I am trying to trap mouse click and to get the x,y
position, so that I could move the console.device cursor using the mouse, and
not only the cursor keys. I didn't get any raw event #4, and I am not even sure
I know what it is supposed to do. I was hoping to find the x,y location
in the x,y variables in event #2, but instead found 0,0 most of the time, and
a small signed value when I pressed the mouse button while moving it fast.
any help?

I've never messed with getting stuff that way, so... I suggest that instead you get mouse XY position from your Window or IDCMP, and cursor position, etc, from your ConUnit structure. If you are in a CON: window, send an ACTION_DISK_INFO packet to get pointers to the window and the ConUnit. See my previous posting (last week ?) all about ConUnit and packets to console, etc. -- ========================================================================== Carolyn Scheppner -- CATS Commodore Amiga Technical Support PHONE 215-431-9180 UUCP ...{uunet,allegra,rutgers}!cbmvax!carolyn !!!

Just a thought - I think you may be getting RELATIVE mouse position events. I think most system mouse events are relative. Think about my previous suggestion. (Or next suggestion, as the case may be, if uucp is in a playful mode) -- ========================================================================== Carolyn Scheppner -- CATS Commodore Amiga Technical Support PHONE 215-431-9180 UUCP ...{uunet,allegra,rutgers}!cbmvax!carolyn Oh I'm a numberjack and I'm OK, I code all night and I work all day... ==========================================================================
