Im talking about MouseDown, not Click. In fact click is like getting the MouseUp.

Ofcourse i know how to get a MouseDown event, but i want to know in which gadget does the user do the mouse down, maybe there is some easier way to get it.
ATM im receiving MouseDown event and then using the Mouse-X & Mouse-Y i get if it was inside some gadget but maybe there is another way to do it.

But i need to know it when the user are still pressing the button, before releasing it , otherwise i could use the click, but the idea is that the user will mantain pressed the button and then i need to know which gadget are pressed before release it.

Do you mean something like this? Note that this example doesn't take
into account if the user has swapped the left/right mouse buttons...

Code: Select all

If OpenWindow(0,100,150,450,200,#PB_Window_SystemMenu,"Test")
  CreateGadgetList(WindowID())
  bg=ButtonGadget(1,20,20,100,25,"Up")
  Repeat
    ev=WaitWindowEvent() : GetCursorPos_(mouse.POINT)
    If ev=#WM_LBUTTONDOWN And WindowFromPoint_(mouse\x,mouse\y)=bg
      SetGadgetText(1,"Down")
      While GetAsyncKeyState_(#VK_LBUTTON)0 : Sleep_(1) : Wend
      SetGadgetText(1,"Up")      
    EndIf
  Until ev=#PB_EventCloseWindow
EndIf

(Fred: The SetGadgetText command in the docs don't say that it can be
used with ButtonGadgets, which may confuse newbies).
