It doesn't work right here (Win2k Sp3). When moving the horizontal splitter, I can't release it any more. When i click the Mouse Button, only the first Element of the bottom ListView get's activated, but the splitter is not released.

Is there something wrong when calculating the mouse position?

Timo, sorry to hear that.
I coded under WindowsXP-Home-Sp1 and had no problems.
Can't reproduce your bug.
Tomorrow I will test it @work with Win2K-Sp3.

Have a nice day...

I have this bug also on XP pro SP1
mouse position is wrong.
Because XP has other borders by default, compared to W2k, it fails.
Also on XP themes with wider borders, it fails.

Use this to get the correct mouseposition.

Code: Select all

TopBorder  = GetSystemMetrics_(#SM_CYCAPTION) + GetSystemMetrics_(#SM_CYSIZEFRAME)
LeftBorder = GetSystemMetrics_(#SM_CYSIZEFRAME)

x = WindowMouseX() - LeftBorder
y = WindowMouseY() - TopBorder

Fred: Maybe add this standard to WindowMouseXY, so mouse and gadgets/drawing commands use the same coordinates?

Didn't expect, that WindowMouseX() and WindowMouseY() refers to the whole
Window not the Client/Inner Area.

Sorry Fred but this seems not logical to me.
If I place a gadget on x10-y10 and I go with the mouse to the upper left corner of the gadget and get
with WindowMouseX() and WindowMouseY() different values than x10-y10 it's just not logical to me.


OK I updated the code to use InnerWindowMouseX() and InnerWindowMouseY().
Berikco thanks for the hint.
Sorry for the inconvenience, hope all works fine now.

Please use the updated code.


Have a nice day...
