Possible to check mousebuttons without opening a screen?

I'd like a mousepressed() DLL so I can check the mouse when it goes outside the Blitz program window. If PB can't do it, can anyone give me a DLL to do it?

I am really happy with the way PB is helping me with the next version of CShop. A lot of the program is being written in PB.

Sorry, that subject title made no sense.

At the start of your app:

Code: Select all

getasynckeystate_(#VK_LBUTTON) ; To clear mouse buffer.  Do the same for RBUTTON/MBUTTON if required.

Then, when you want to test it later:

Code: Select all

If getasynckeystate_(#VK_LBUTTON)=-32767
  Debug "Left mouse button is down!"
EndIf
