Well, let's see if I can tell it right: I'm triying to do this options menu with scrollbars:


And I have this code to actualize the buttons position when the mouse is clicked over it, you know, the typical thing for a scrollbar:

[code]var meters;
var MoveButton;

on "LeftClick"
{
    MoveButton = true;
    meters.MouseY = Game.MouseY;    

[Mnemonic]

I'll test it in the evening and I'll let you know what I've found, ok?

And another question: what's the difference between SystemExclusive and Exclusive?

SystemExclusive freezes the game, Exclusive doesn't. That's the only (major) difference.

[McCoy]

Ok, thanx. Well, if there's no way to have only the window loop running while keeping all the rest paused, try to think in a way to actualize the buttons position without using loops. I'm out of ideas  

[Mnemonic]

OK, it was a bug. The exclusive window shouldn't freeze its own controls. Also the Sleep() command didn't work correctly on the exclusive window.

I fixed that, please download the fixed version at: http://dead-code.org/download/wme_latest.exe
(I hope I didn't break anything else...).

I've also added the ability to set mouse pointer position:

Game.MouseX = 120;

I think you're gonna need it in this case...

[McCoy]

Wow, thanx for fixing it so quickly. I'll try it now.

And...

I've also added the ability to set mouse pointer position:

Game.MouseX = 120;

will do the same as  Game.SetMousePos(X, Y) ?
But anyway, I prefer Game.MouseX & Game.MouseY to define the mouse pos, so thanx again It will be very useful to keep the mouse inside the button while moving it trought the vertical bar, because the LeftRelease event must occur on the button to work, as you surely supposed  .

[McCoy]

YES! YES! He's alive!... erm... It works!!!  

[Mnemonic]

will do the same as  Game.SetMousePos(X, Y) ?

Yes, *exactly* the same. I won't go into details, but odnorf knows...

because the LeftRelease event must occur on the button to work, as you surely supposed  .

Right
