Returns the mouse's X screen coordinate. |
None |
Command Description:
This command returns the mouse's X location on the screen. Use this with the DrawImage command to make a custom mouse pointer, or to control something directly on the screen with the mouse. Use MouseY() to get the Y coordinate. |
Example:
; LoadAnimImage/MaskImage MouseX()/MouseY() Example ; With animation timers ; Even though we don't have any functions, let's do variables global ; One variable will hold the handle for the graphic, one will hold the ; current frame we are displaying, and one will hold the milliseconds ; timer so we can adjust the animation speed. Global gfxSparks, frmSparks, tmrSparks ; Standard graphic declaration and double buffering setup Graphics 640,480,16 SetBuffer BackBuffer() ; Load the imagestrip up and denote the frames 32x32 - for a total of 3 frames gfxSparks=LoadAnimImage("c:\Program Files\BlitzBasic\samples\Graphics\spark.bmp",32,32,0,3) ; We mask the image's color pink to be the 'transparent' color - look at the ; image in your favorite editor to see more why we use masking. MaskImage gfxSparks,255,0,255 ; Loop until ESC While Not KeyHit(1) Cls ; Standard clear screen ; The next statment checks to see if 100 milliseconds has passes since we ; last changed frames. Change the 100 to higher and lower values to ; make the animation faster or slower. If MilliSecs() > tmrSparks + 100 Then tmrSparks=MilliSecs() ; 'reset' the timer frmSparks=( frmSparks + 1 ) Mod 3 ; increment the frame, flip to 0 if we are out End If DrawImage gfxSparks,MouseX(),MouseY(),frmSparks ; draw the image at MouseX and Y Flip ; show the buffer Wend |
