Mouse down very long

[_pi]

is it possible to have a left mouse down trigger which will be only started
after some defined time?

if left mouse down longer than 2 seconds show a toolbar or dialog with extra options.
and tell the host program to ignore mouse release.

Without eating - yes. The macro can wait for mouse button up...
With eating - I think no, because then need to eat DOWN and UP events.

what would be your code for without eating?

lef+ 109 577 win("Program Manager" "Progman"); 2.00
lef- 109 577 win("Program Manager" "Progman")

The 2.00 is the amount of waiting that the mouse is holding down, when you let go, than mouse will lef-

that is so beautiful!

i use the first example and have it running also in my vmware dev machine.
now i see two /\/\/\/\/.
usually vmware takes over when you activate a virtual machine.

what is _hypot ?

[canderoc]

my guess is hypotenuse of triangle with sides p2.x-p.x & p2.y-p.y, or a way of measuring the diagonal movement of the mouse

[Gintaras]

Yes, hypot(a b) is sqrt(pow(a 2)+pow(b 2)), and it gives distance from p to p2 in any direction.
