I've been looking at changing this in my player for awhile but have not found a solution to it, as eventtype() doesn't reply with (as documented and tested) any type of event when the TrackBarGadget is clicked on, how do you modify a moving TrackBarGadget that is progressing though the song position?

The idea was before I got shut out by eventtype(), was to detect the left click, pause the song, and wait until the left mouse button was released and resume playing at the new position.

I can't pause the music on a trackbarevent() because it is constantly getting polled by setgadgetstate() events from the song playing, which would result in the song being played to be paused forever.

Any ideas?

why pausing the song at all? I see no reason (maybe i overlook something?) to pause a song if the trackbar is moved by a user....
Simply read the new position and play from this point on...

Because while the song is playing the bar is constantly moving it needs to be paused when you click on it, so that it has freedom to move and not be reset to the current song position.

This is where we are.

However that said there was a recent bug in the linux version of trackbargadget having a message over flow problem, which has been fixed.

So maybe better results will follow when we have an update.
