Re: Movinf the mouse pointer

[riboaz xs4all nl]

hi,

i do much the same thing in my application when i am zooming in on
seismological waveforms, mouse-down drag-right = zoom in, mouse-down
drag-left = zoom out.

in order to determine whether or not to zoom in or out, on mouse-down i
save the coordinates of the current mouse position, and then on the drag
event compare the new mouse position with the original (saved) mouse-down
position.  if new  > original then zoom in, else zoom out.  once the drag
event is processed, i reset the original position with the new position
(thus, allowing the user to change directions without having to either: 1)
restart the mouse event, or 2) get back to the original position.  how
this is relevant for you would be app-specific).

if you want to restore the original starting position, simply save the
mouse position on mouse-down and then restore these saved coordinates on
mouse-up.

hope this helps,

richard boaz
