1. Possible get_mouse() style in Win32?

Is it possible to get for the desktop in Win32/Win32Lib to get mouse =
events returned in the same way as mouse.e's get_mouse() (event,x,y)? I =
would like to do it this way so I don't have to putz with hooking events =
and such. I know for x and y I use GetCursorPos(), but what about the =
event? Is it possible?
Thanks,
Mike Hurley

If your talking about windows you have to use window messages to
use the mouse. If you have a book I think you want to read up on the
WM_NCHITTEST ( which stands for WindowMessage_NonClientHitTest )
Don't be fooled by its name it causes DefWindowProc to return HIT-VALUES
like
HTCLIENT -- In the client area
HTCAPTION -- In the caption (title-bar)
and 22 more other Hit-Values.
Using this information you just have to watch for the area your interested
in on the a particular desktop window then use the mouse messages to
process on the hotspot of your mouse's cursor.
I think you are having trouble because you are trying to track the
mouse for every second. You have to let windows do the work for you.
Remember EVERY feature of windows is not implimented in WIN32LIB so
sometimes you have add them.
If you don't have the WIN32 definitions download the win32.ZIP doc
whose FTP download address is in the PLATFORM.DOC
Maybe David could explain better how to use the mouse in windows
than I can.
Thanks Bernie

Are you asking how to find the mouse's position when your application has
focus, or do you want to find the mouse even when the pointer is not over
your application's screen?
Some hint as to what you are trying to accomplish would be helpful.
