Title: Mouse button push-on & release-off, For an Output# in Mach button
Post by: Chip on November 19, 2007, 03:52:39 PM

Hi, All

My VB skill's are very bad, Could someone post some VB code for a Mouse button push-on, release-off for an Output#.

Like the MPG Jog Arrows, Searched all over for something simple and concise.

The code below only allows a Click on and Click off

If IsOutputActive( OUTPUT17 ) Then
   DeActivateSignal( OUTPUT17 )
Else
   ActivateSignal( OUTPUT17 )
End If   

Just Lost Hear Thanks, Chip

I dont think VB can read the mouse directly. Of course, a button can bbe set up so that when the mouse clicks on it that button will be 'pressed' and some VB code in the button can then run.

If thats what you want all you need is a button on the screen, set it to be a VB button in screen 4, then put the code you have in the button script form the Mach operator menu.
