Think you can do better??? Moving a Borderless Window

[Pete]

Okay, just for the hell of it, I figured out how to do a Win32 set mouse cursor event. It really doesn't make any difference.

Code: (Select All)

DIM WinMse AS POINTAPI
TYPE POINTAPI
    X_Pos AS LONG
    Y_Pos AS LONG
END TYPE

DECLARE DYNAMIC LIBRARY "User32"
    FUNCTION GetWindowLongA& (BYVAL hwnd AS LONG, BYVAL nIndex AS LONG)
    FUNCTION SetWindowLongA& (BYVAL hwnd AS LONG, BYVAL nIndex AS LONG, BYVAL dwNewLong AS LONG)
    FUNCTION SetWindowPos& (BYVAL hwnd AS LONG, BYVAL hWndInsertAfter AS LONG, BYVAL x AS LONG, BYVAL y AS LONG, BYVAL cx AS LONG, BYVAL cy AS LONG, BYVAL wFlags AS LONG)
    FUNCTION GetAsyncKeyState% (BYVAL vkey AS LONG)
    FUNCTION GetCursorPos (lpPoint AS POINTAPI)
    FUNCTION SetCursorPos& (BYVAL x AS INTEGER, BYVAL y AS INTEGER)
END DECLARE

DIM AS INTEGER setxy

WIDTH 50, 25
DO: LOOP UNTIL _SCREENEXISTS
GWL_STYLE = -16
ws_border = &H800000
WS_VISIBLE = &H10000000
_TITLE "No Border"
hwnd& = _WINDOWHANDLE
winstyle& = GetWindowLongA&(hwnd&, GWL_STYLE)
_DELAY .25
a& = SetWindowLongA&(hwnd&, GWL_STYLE, winstyle& AND WS_VISIBLE)
a& = SetWindowPos&(hwnd&, 0, 0, 200, 400, 0, 39)

LOCATE 1, 1
COLOR 0, 7
PRINT SPACE$(_WIDTH);
fw = _FONTWIDTH
fh = _FONTHEIGHT
x = _SCREENX: y = _SCREENY

DO
    _LIMIT 60

    IF GetAsyncKeyState(1) < 0 THEN
        IF lb = 0 THEN lb = 1
    ELSE
        IF lb THEN lb = 0: dragpt = 0
    END IF

    z = GetCursorPos(WinMse)

    IF lb THEN
        IF dragpt THEN
            IF WinMse.X_Pos <> oldxpos OR WinMse.Y_Pos <> oldypos THEN
                j1 = (WinMse.X_Pos - oldxpos)
                j2 = (WinMse.Y_Pos - oldypos)
                x = x + j1: y = y + j2
                _SCREENMOVE x, y
                setxy = SetCursorPos(x + dragpt, y)
            END IF
            z = GetCursorPos(WinMse)
        ELSE
            IF WinMse.Y_Pos >= _SCREENY AND WinMse.Y_Pos <= _SCREENY + fh THEN
                x = _SCREENX: y = _SCREENY
                dragpt = (WinMse.X_Pos - x)
            END IF
        END IF
    END IF
    IF LEN(INKEY$) THEN SYSTEM
    oldypos = WinMse.Y_Pos
    oldxpos = WinMse.X_Pos
LOOP

It still beat the heck out of me how we can move a window on the window's desktop with the mouse cursor "fixed" to a drag position but when you try to program that event the mouse cursor isn't fixed, but always trying to readjust.
