Mouse events by BananushkA on 06-26-2006 at 12:39 PM
Is there anyway to handle mouse events (such as mouse down, mouse up, mouse move etc.) in Messenger Plus! Live windows?
Or, is there a way to select an area (blank area) in a window (like explorer, basically)?

Get the handle to the window and subclass it.

The new wndproc saves the last position of the mouse in it's own memory, then a script calls another function in the DLL which then reads the x or the y variable and returns it to the script.

Can you write me a more specific example, please?

Well, if you know winapi, it should be easy to do, but apperantly you don't...
1) a C tutorial: http://cplus.about.com/od/beginnerctutoria1/l/blctut.htm
2) a WinApi tutorial: http://winprog.net/tutorial/
3) subclassing: http://www.rpsoftware.net/old/tutorials.php?page=subclass
Follow those tutorials and you should be fine.
