pure basic standard events...

Is there a reason not to have defined standard PB events for the mouse like :
- #PB_EventType_LeftMouseButtonUp
- #PB_EventType_RightMouseButtonUp
- #PB_EventType_mouseMove
- #PB_EventType_MouseEnter
- #PB_EventType_MouseLeave
- #PB_EventType_MouseOver
...
Using windows API is incompatible with the others platforms ...
Many Basics implement them in their basic versions for most of the gadgets!?

It's the same question about canvas component which could be replaced by imagegadget if those events would exist

they are the only reasons which make me give up purebasic for simple tasks managing mouse events...

Thanks a lot for your explanation

we have evenmenuid() etc. perhaps an eventmouse() command?

Then I want a eventkeyboard()

I just don't like the shortcut things

This would be very usefull, its difficult to use because of it at the moment, i hate using the keyboard shortcuts.. and mouse events would be great.

I made the same exact request here.

I believe the issue has to do with some of these events not being cross-platform at this time (don't know what is coming for 4.0).

For example, you can't click an ImageGadget in Linux. See thread here.
