Detecting Mouse Clicks

Hi

Is there a way to detect a mouse click anywhere on the screen (not just on
your form or a control on the form)?

Thanks

You could capture the mouse if you want to have detect mouse clicks
while your app is active. In win32 we could use SetCapture to do it.

If you want to mouse click even when your app is not active, you can
use a system wide mouse hook:

Hi all, I'm working on an educational applet for a child with special needs. He's got a bit of a trick to make my life more difficult... To interact with the applet he needs to click on buttons, which is fine most of the time (he comes from a Mac environment, so I accept mouse clicks from the right or left button when he's working on the PC). But every once in a while, he'll press and hold the right mouse button, move onto a JButton,...

Hi, I have included a small listing. The test program opens a panel and show a bitmap. What I want is to when the mouse is over the bitmap panel, I want to trap the left mouse click. The purpose is to get the position of the mouse pointer on the bitmap. However, for some reason, the left (I also tried right) mouse clicks are not intercepted. I new to Python and wxWindows so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is it possible to detect a mouse click from a .net service. I want a process running in the background that will detect when the user clicks the mouse button (anywhere on the screen) and executes an action accordingly. All the event handlers for the mouse that I see are for Windows Forms. Is there a way to do it without any controls on the screen? Thanks

Hello. My 80+ year old father has recently decided to get his first computer. Due to his age (and I suspect lack of playing pong as a child like I did) he lacks the manual dexterity to use a mouse well. He is frequently missing the left mouse button and hitting the right, or less often the middle (wheel) buttons. While he is very slowly getting better with practice, the frustration level is high for him as a result of this (he gets very...

Hi, I am attempting to detect mouse clicks from within curses, using "select" on sys.stdin. It is working great within an xterm under X, but not very well in a "real" linux console. When I click my mouse while on the "real" console, nothing happens at first, even on repeated clicks. Once I press a keyboard key, I see a "409" in my trace, indicating the mouse event. The next keystroke will bring up the two keyboard events. The additional...

Does anyone know how to get rid of excess mouse clicks? I have a button that does some code which takes some time to execute. As soon as the user clicks the button, I disable the button in the button handler and enable it again when I exit the handler. However, if the user clicks a bunch of times, say 10, during the time it's disabled and executing for the first time, it will start to process the second mouse click the moment the button...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
