[Gambas-user] Drag and drop to TextArea

[vuott at tutanota.com]

« Can the mouse pointer be tracked across a form or a component such as a TextArea without the need to hold the left button down? »

"Perhaps" these codes might give you an idea.
At least one TextArea is expected to be present on the Form.

1)
[code]
Private Timer1 As Timer


Public Sub Form_Open()

  With Timer1 = New Timer As "Timer1"
    .Delay = 20
  End With
  
End


Public Sub Timer1_Timer()

  Me.Title = "X = " & CStr(Mouse.ScreenX - Me.X) &
         "       Y = " & CStr(Mouse.ScreenY - Me.Y)

End

Public Sub Form_Enter()

  Timer1.Start

End
Public Sub Form_Leave()

  Timer1.Stop

End
[/code]

2)
[code]
Public Sub Form_Open()

  Me.Tracking = True
  TextArea1.Tracking = True

End

Public Sub Form_MouseMove()
  
  Me.Title = "X = " & CStr(Mouse.ScreenX - Me.X) &
         "       Y = " & CStr(Mouse.ScreenY - Me.Y)
  
End

Public Sub TextArea1_MouseMove()
  
  Me.Title = "X = " & CStr(Mouse.ScreenX - Me.X) &
         "       Y = " & CStr(Mouse.ScreenY - Me.Y)
  
End
[/code]
