seeking way to capture cursor position at millisecond intervals

[Ed Jahn]

For a really geeky project, I want to capture the x, y, t coordinates
of the mouse cursor location at millisecond intervals. I see that I
can get the milliseconds from SYSTEM(9), but I'm not clear how to get
the mouse position.

Is this possible in QMBasic?

Will AccuTerm do it?

Just another strange request,

look in the area of  ' AccuTerm Programming'
there is actually very little AccuTerm can NOT do
where it's running a Windows app, accepting mouse input, browsing to a URL, displaying images, programming in GUI
it's pretty much all there

also check out:

http://www.asent.com/manuals.html

lots of examples, help, tutorial videos, etc


Thanks AccuTerm for being a part of the QM community
the commercial QM includes a AccuTerm license

You forgot that Accuterm can also launch Windows applications, and these launching scripts can be activated from inside a Pick BASIC program running on the host system.

 

So from Pick BASIC I can say... oh look we have an MP3 file here, I'll go ahead and launch your MP3 player and feed it this file location... and it works.  To the end user it's close to magic.

Hi Ed,

QM itself has no knowledge of the cursor position, therefore, any mechanism
to determine where it is must be handled within AccuTerm. I believe that
there is a control code to ask where the cursor is and receive this back as
an input data burst but I can imagine that the whole process may take more
than 1mS to complete.

What is moving the cursor? I would have thought that the easiest solution is
to track its position within your application.
