Detect mouse botton down

[KurtKubic]

Hi

 

I want to activate a macro by pressing down left mouse button, wait 1 second and then check if the mouse button is still pressed.

 

Is this possible?

To my knowledge this can't be done.

You can activate a macro by a mouse click and then use the Delay command to wait one second. But I do not think you can check to see if the mouse button is still pressed.

I don't know any way to do it directly from ME.

However, if you can write the C# or VB code, your macro could call a program to check the mouse. Google "detect mouse button state" and you will find a number of examples of simple C# or VB or Javascript code to check it.

 

It sounds like a useful command that Insight could "easily" add to ME -- I suggest you ask them to do so. Won't help you right now, but maybe in the future ....

Thanks for your prompt answers.

 

I will definitely ask the crew to integrate this feature i MI.

 

rberg: I will try to use your methode and will return if I find a work around!

Maybe you could do it as follows:

 

1. Start macro X with a left mouse click.

2. In macro X after a 1 second delay open or activate or focus a unique window W and end X.

3. Activate macro Y with the Window Title option. Proceed to do your required operations in macro Y.
