mouse clicking

[skier]

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?

code:

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.

how do i no what the "window id" is

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!

then why does this not work.i dont here anything

code:

loop     Window.Hide (defWinID)     var x, y : int     if Mouse.ButtonMoved ("down") then         play ("b")         var buttonnumber, buttonupdown : int         Mouse.ButtonWait ("down", x, y, buttonnumber,             buttonupdown)     end if end loop

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
