How to find out when mouse is moving

[swipisParticipant]

Hello,

I need to find out when mouse is moving and I found EventType.MouseMove but somehow not working as expected, here is the code:

Monkey

If EventType.MouseMove Then Print "mouse motion" Endif

1 2 3 4 5

If EventType.MouseMove Then       Print "mouse motion" Endif

And output printed even if mouse not moving, what I doing wrong? Or maybe use SDL_MouseMotionEvent but not sure how…

 

Thank you!

On your monkey2 IDE, on the right window select:
projects->Monkey2-develop->modules->mojox->tests->button.monkey2
it will show you how to use mouse events.

…add a method to your window class like this:

Monkey

Method OnMouseEvent( event:MouseEvent ) Override Select event.Type Case EventType.MouseMove 'Mouse has moved! Print "MouseMove:"+event.Location End End

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Method OnMouseEvent( event:MouseEvent ) Override    Select event.Type    Case EventType.MouseMove       'Mouse has moved!       Print "MouseMove:"+event.Location    End End

…or, you can just ‘poll’ for mouse movement by reading Mouse.X and Mouse.Y and comparing them with older readings.
