A question about ptcmouse.

[TBMan]

I found that, when using PTCgraph and setting a viewport with anything other than x1 = 0 and y1=0 that the ptcmouse unit does not adjust its mousex, mousey for the possible viewport offset. I'd have to rebuild ptcmouse and even though I made a change to the pctmouse unit, the changes aren't reflected.

Ptcmouse has the following code:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. procedure GetMouseState(var x, y, buttons: LongInt);
2.  
3. begin
4.   GetMouseEvents;
5.   x := MouseX;
6.   y := MouseY;
7.   buttons := MouseButtonState;
8. end;                  
9.  

and I want to rebuild it as:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. procedure GetMouseState(var x, y, buttons: LongInt);
2. var
3.   v:viewsettings;
4. begin
5.   GetMouseEvents;
6.   getviewsettings(v);
7.   x := MouseX-v.x1;
8.   y := MouseY-v.y1;
9.   buttons := MouseButtonState;
10. end;                  
11.  

I could just save the ptcgraph unit code as a my_mouse unit, make my change and use it instead of ptcmouse.


So how can I rebuild pctmouse to reflect my change to its getmousestate procedure? Or is it better just to do my workaround? (Which I started to do already).

if you copy the ptc units to your project directory they should take precedence over the precompiled ones.

Thank you Thaddy.
