mouse clicking

-----------------------------------

i am trying to amke a program so that when you click a botton on the mouse it makes a sound. i have got it working but it only works when you click in side the display window. is there a away to leave the program running but minimized and have it still work?

loop
    var x, y, radius, clr : int
    if Mouse.ButtonMoved ("down") then
        play ("b")      % a sharp in a lower octave
        var buttonnumber, buttonupdown : int
        Mouse.ButtonWait ("down", x, y, buttonnumber,
            buttonupdown)
    end if
end loop

Simply Window.Hide() the window.

Oh, and 'b' is not a#, b is cb.

One of two things.

At the beginning of the programme, you can Window.Open() a new window...you'll need a variable for that so that variable will then hold the winID.

Or you can Window.GetActive the winID.  Amazing what happens when you press F10!

Try using just Mouse.Where(), it should work a bit better.

BTW, you might want to consider changing that "down" to "downup".

The mouse.where command works much better thank you for your time
