Standardised extended libs???

[SMcNeill]

Its just an idea...so please feedback, change, give me your ideas!

Code: (Select All)

'/// initial idea for mouse input library for qb64 PE - i,e QBX_



TYPE QBX_Vector_2D '// Should it be point_2d? i always think a vecotr has position and magnitude (rotation and speed) too

  x AS SINGLE

  y AS SINGLE

END TYPE





TYPE QBX_Time_Event

  Max_Time AS DOUBLE '// Maximum timed allowed

  First_Time AS DOUBLE '// When the first occurance happened

  Last_Time AS DOUBLE '// When the second occurance happened - if this - first < max then its a double click

END TYPE





TYPE QBX_Mouse_State

  Position AS QBX_Vector_2D

  L AS _BYTE

  R AS _BYTE

  M AS _BYTE

  W AS _BYTE

  L_Tmr AS QBX_Time_Event

  R_Tmr AS QBX_Time_Event

  M_Tmr AS QBX_Time_Event

END TYPE





'// Ideal world - every program would use this

DIM SHARED QBX_Mouse(2) AS QBX_Mouse_State



'////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////



DO

  CLS







  _DISPLAY



LOOP



'////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////



SUB QBX_Mouse_Get_State '// Automactically fills array pos 0 with current mouse state





END SUB



'////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////



SUB QBX_Mouse_Store_State '// Automactically fills array pos 1 with mouse state stored in array pos 0





END SUB



'////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////



SUB QBX_Mouse_Store_State_Old '// Automactically fills array pos 2 with mouse state stored in array pos 1 - might not actually be needed - my brains unsure!







END SUB



'////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////



SUB QBX_Mouse_Set_DC_L '// set double click time for left button





END SUB



'////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////



SUB QBX_Mouse_Set_DC_R '// set double click time for right button





END SUB



'////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////



SUB QBX_Mouse_Set_DC_M '// set double click time for middle button





END SUB

Remember, its not for me! Its for us ALL!

Looks like you're reinventing the wheel.

That's the problem with libraries and sharing code -- getting people to make use of them rather than just roll their own.  Only difference in how you're proposing to do things, and how MBS works is it uses a bit array to basically store and report that information back to us.

It faithfully reports click events and hold events and start hold/end hold positions and scroll events... and yet, there's only a handful of people who ever use it rather than just writing their own.
