Detect mouse leaving application's window in pure QB64
#1
Hi Terry
Hi Steve
Hi all folks

I need an help to be working well to 100% this my QB64 snippet that detects when mouse leaves the area of the application.

Thanks to Steve, Bplus, GrymmJack and all you QB64 coders with your feedbacks and suggestions!

Code: (Select All)
Rem it is a code test to detect mouse out of window of application using only QB64 code
Option _Explicit

Dim As Long S1, W1, H1
Dim As Integer Xm, Ym, Dxm, Dym, Im, Ox, Oy
W1 = 800: H1 = 600
S1 = _NewImage(W1, H1, 32)

Screen S1


Do
    Im = _MouseInput
    If Im Then
        Dxm = _MouseMovementX
        Dym = _MouseMovementY
        If Dxm Then Xm = IsOutWindow%(0, _Width - 1, Dxm, _MouseX, Ox)
        If Dym Then Ym = IsOutWindow%(0, _Height - 1, Dym, _MouseY, Oy)

        Select Case Xm
            Case 0:
                If Ym = 0 Then Print " mouse in window"
            Case 1:
                Print "mouse out on the right of window"
            Case -1:
                Print "mouse out on the left of window"
            Case Else
        End Select

        Select Case Ym
            Case 1:
                Print "mouse out on the bottom of window"
            Case -1:
                Print " mouse out on the top of window"
            Case Else
        End Select
        Ox = Xm
        Oy = Ym
    End If
    _Limit 300

Loop Until InKey$ <> ""
End

Function IsOutWindow% (Min As Integer, Max As Integer, DeltaMove As Integer, MousePos As Integer, OldMode As Integer)

    If MousePos > Min And MousePos < Max Then
        ' is it in the range of the window?
        IsOutWindow% = 0 ': Exit Function
    ElseIf DeltaMove > 0 And MousePos = Max Then
        ' is it moving towards right and it is on the right edge?
        IsOutWindow% = 1 ': Exit Function
    ElseIf DeltaMove < 0 And MousePos = Min Then
        ' is it moving towards left and it is on the left edge?
        IsOutWindow% = -1 ': Exit Function
    ElseIf MousePos = Max And DeltaMove < 0 And OldMode = 1 Then
        ' is it on the right edge and it is moving to left and it was out on the right?
        IsOutWindow% = 1 ': Exit Function
    ElseIf MousePos = Min And DeltaMove > 0 And OldMode = -1 Then
        ' is it on the left edge and it is moving on the right and it was out on the left?
        IsOutWindow% = -1 ': Exit Function
    End If
End Function
Generally it works ok, but it sometimes lasts stuck and you must repeat the action to get the detection of mouse out of window.
How can it be improved?

Thanks for feedbacks
