$mouse returns informations about the mouse and its buttons

Synopsis

$mouse

Paramters

None

Properties

This identifier almost uniquely takes no parameter but has properties ($insong and the like also have this), it is not possible to use such syntax for custom identifier, $myalias.prop would just call the alias named "$myalias.prop"

• .x and .y - returns the position of the mouse relative to the active window
• .mx and .my - returns the position of the mouse relative to the main mIRC window
• .dx and .dy - returns the position of the mouse relative to the desktop window
• .cx and .cy - returns position relative to the primary monitor.
• .win - returns the name of the active window
• .lb - returns $true if a mouse event occured over a listbox, $false otherwise.
• .key - Returns a bitmask, you can use the bitwise & operator to check for button/shift/alt/control state:
  • if ($mouse.key & 1) echo left mouse button is pressed.
  • if ($mouse.key & 2) echo control key is pressed.
  • if ($mouse.key & 4) echo either left-or-right shift key is pressed.
  • if ($mouse.key & 8) echo either alt key is pressed.
  • if ($mouse.key & 16) echo right mouse button is pressed.
  • if ($mouse.key & 32) echo middle mouse button is pressed.
  • if ($mouse.key & 64) echo right shift key is pressed.
  • if ($mouse.key & 128) echo right control key is pressed.
  • if ($mouse.key & 256) echo right alt key is pressed.
  • if ($mouse.key & 512) echo capslock is enabled.
  • if ($mouse.key & 1024) echo scroll lock is enabled.
  • if ($mouse.key & 2048) echo numlock lock is enabled.
  • if ($mouse.key & 4096) echo left shift key is pressed.
  • if ($mouse.key & 8192) echo left control key is pressed.
  • if ($mouse.key & 16384) echo left alt key is pressed.

Example

//echo -a $mouse.x

Notes

Pressing any of the Ctrl or Alt or Shift keys causes 2 of the above masks to be non-zero, so pressing the right-shift enables both the 4 and 64 bit masks. You can check if the right-shift IS pressed and the left-shift is NOT pressed, by checking whether $and($mouse.key,$calc(4096+64)) == 64
