Why does #PB_MouseButton... seems not to work?

[va!n]

i have a little codesnip opening a windowedscreen and showing a window in front of the screen (code can be found on "coding help" topic") ... i have tried to detect left and right mouseclick on the screen with the mouse keywords... following example showing only the theorie of what i use... why does it not work? even when a MsgReq pop up and pressing ENTER instead left mousebutton, it pop up again and again! Even i use Examinemouse() - is there a bug? Trying to press ESC after one MsgReq is poped up, you can exit anymore...

I could use keycommands instead mouse... but using left/right mousebutton would make live a lot more easy ,)

Code: Select all

InitSprite()
InitKeyboard()
InitMouse()

OpenScreen(800,600,32,"Test")
ShowCursor_(#True)

Repeat
  ExamineMouse()
  ExamineKeyboard()
  ClearScreen(0)
  
  If MouseButton( #PB_MouseButton_Left)
    MessageRequester("LMB","",0)
  EndIf
  
  If MouseButton( #PB_MouseButton_Left)
    MessageRequester("RMB","",0)
  EndIf
  
  FlipBuffers()
Until KeyboardPushed(#PB_Key_Escape)
End

possible a bug in pb? because why does KeyboardPushed does not work when pressed any mouse button before?? maybe its just to late for me and i should sleep a bit

The messagerequester isn't appropriate for this kind of test. Try this:

Code: Select all

InitSprite() 
InitKeyboard() 
InitMouse() 

ExamineDesktops()
OpenScreen(DesktopWidth(0),DesktopHeight(0),DesktopDepth(0),"Test") 

Repeat 
  ExamineMouse() 
  ExamineKeyboard() 
  ClearScreen(0) 
  
  If MouseButton( #PB_MouseButton_Left) 
   StartDrawing(ScreenOutput())
     DrawText(320,290,"LEFT MOUSEBUTTON",#Red,#Black)
   StopDrawing()
  EndIf 
  
  If MouseButton( #PB_MouseButton_Right) 
   StartDrawing(ScreenOutput())
     DrawText(320,290,"RIGHT MOUSEBUTTON",#Red,#Black)
   StopDrawing()
  EndIf 
  
  FlipBuffers() 
Until KeyboardPushed(#PB_Key_Escape) 
End 

The test will be true as long as the mousebutton is held down and go false as soon as it's released, which is just the right behavior for making games.
