The $click identifier allows the tracking of clicks within a custom Picture Window.

Synopsis[edit]

$click(@,N)[.property]

Parameters[edit]

@ The custom picture window name to target
N The Nth target in the click event list to track.

Properties[edit]

x Get the current x position of the mouse click
y Get the current y position of the mouse click

Attached Command[edit]

The $click click event history can be cleared from a custom picture window by using the following command:

/clear -c @pictureWindowName

Example[edit]

The example below will create a custom alias, /clickWatch, that, when executed, will popup a custom window and display the live click results from the sclick event.

; Create the custom alias to launch the example
;
; Synopsis: /clickWatch
 
alias clickWatch {
 
  ; Custom picture window, which is centered
  window -dpC @clicker 0 0 250 125
 
  ; Custom 'update' alias keeps code from repeating
  ; During initial launch the values should be empty
  update 15 Total Clicks: empty
  update 35 Current Position: none yet
  update 55 Previous Position: none yet
}
; Monitor the sclicks in our custom '@clicker' window
menu @clicker  {
  sclick: {
 
    ; Clear the window for the new value updates
    clear @clicker
 
    ; Set the %current and %prev variables to the current
    ; x/y click location, and to the previous x/y click
    ; locations, respectively
    var %current = $click(@clicker,0), %prev = $calc(%current - 1)
 
    ; Utilizing the custom 'update' alias, update the data
    update 15 Total Clicks: $click(@clicker,0)
    update 35 Current Position: $click(@clicker,%current)
    update 55 Previous Position: $iif(%prev,$click(@clicker,%prev),none yet)
  }
}
; Custom update alias removes a lot of the /drawtext repetition
; from this example
alias -l update {
  drawtext @clicker $color(normal) 7 $1 $2-
}
