Delphi: Retrieving mouse info

[Kaiousama]

I want to check inside a OnMouseMove event if the first mouse button is pressed (while the user is moving the mouse); but OnMouseMove event only have "Shift", "X", "Y" arguments and not the "Button" argument.

Is there a way to retrieve if one mouse button is pressed?

Thanks. :)

one way you can do it is setting a flag when the user presses the button (OnMouseDown) and clearing it when he releases the butoon (OnMouseUp). then OnMouseMove you check the flag.

I'm a bit confused OnMouseMove doesnt the button ...but oh wait doesnt shift include :

ssRight The right mouse button is held down.
ssMiddle The middle mouse button is held down.
ssDouble The mouse was double-clicked.


you should probably use that one..

It was exactly the wark-around i've used, but surely it is not a beautiful way.

Yessssss, it's exactly what i'm looking for, i'll test it tomorrow! Thanks Unmei!
Please tell me you haven't found it in Delphi Help (in that case i feel really n00b because i searched a lot in it) :p
