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 ( 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? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Udi Finkelstein | Bitnet: finkel@taurus.bitnet or finkel@math.tau.ac.il Tel Aviv University | Internet: finkel%taurus.bitnet@cunyvm.cuny.edu Israel | UUCP: ...!psuvax1!taurus.bitnet!finkel -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
