Clicking and Draging

[gamefreak202]

I'm trying to click and drag my app with window control object. I have when flag 0 is on set winxpos to (WinXPos( "Window Control" )+FrameWinXPos( "Window Control" )+XMouse)-XMouse which mathematically works but apparently mmf doesn't like it because when I drag nothing happens.

Any help?

Well, if you don't want to be be bothered with that math, you could just go to the Widgets subforum and download the Drag Window Widget: http://www.clickteam.com/epicenter/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=65844#Post65844

If you do want to do the math, you would set two alterable values (which I'm calling AltA and AltB) to the X and Y position before each move of the window.

So, here's what I have:

• User clicks with left button
- Set AltA to XMouse
- Set AltB to YMouse
- Set Internal Flag 0 on

• Internal Flag 0 is on
- Set horizontal position to WinXPos("Window Control")+(XMouse-AltA("Window Control"))
- Set vertical position to WinYPos("Window Control")+(YMouse-AltB("Window Control"))

•( Repeat while left mouse-key is pressed
- Set internal flag 0 off
