How to trap mouse events in an xdialog

Description

This example demonstrates how to trap mouse events in an xdialog using a user defined xdialog control.

define class system [control] HelloWorld
dim ctl as p
dim dlg_title as c
dim varName as c
dim message as c
FUNCTION HelloWorld as v()
  message = "Hello World"
END FUNCTION
 
implementation EmbeddedIface as Type::MetaControlImpl
FUNCTION updateDrawing as v()
  self.ctl.drawCode = ui_generate_quick_draw(<<%code%
set_brush("yellow")
fill_rect(0,0,4,2)
set_font("Tahoma,15","Red")
text(self.message,0,0)
%code%)
END FUNCTION
 
FUNCTION OnlButtonDown as v(ma as p)
  self.message = "Hello world - Mouse Down"
  'self.varname = the 'variable' that is bound to the Meta control
  'e.g. {HelloWorld=100,10test1};  - in this case, it is 'test1'.
  ui_dlg_eval(self.dlg_title,self.varname + ":=" + quote(ma.x +":" + ma.y))
  ui_dlg_refresh(self.dlg_title)
  updateDrawing()
END FUNCTION
FUNCTION OnlButtonUp as v(ma as p)
  self.message = "Hello world - Mouse Up"
  updateDrawing()
END FUNCTION
FUNCTION OnMouseMove as v(ma as p)
  self.message = "Hello world - Move "+ma.X+","+ma.Y
  updateDrawing()
END FUNCTION
FUNCTION OnMouseLeave as v (ma as p)
  self.message = "Hello world"
  updateDrawing()
END FUNCTION
FUNCTION OnKeyDown as v(ka as p)
  self.message = "Hello world - KeyDown "+ka.KeyName()
 
  updateDrawing()
END FUNCTION
FUNCTION OnKeyUp as v(ka as p)
  self.message = "Hello world - KeyUp "+ka.KeyName()
  updateDrawing()
END FUNCTION
END implementation
