Examples
In a script for a control in a window, the following example stores
the distance of the pointer from the top of the window in the variable
li_dist. If the pointer is 10 units from the top of the window, li_dist
equals 10:
|
1 2 |
integer li_Dist li_Dist = Parent.PointerY() |
This statement in a control’s RButtonDown script displays a pop-up
menu m_Appl.M_Help at the cursor position:
|
1 2 |
m_Appl.M_Help.PopMenu(Parent.PointerX(), & Parent.PointerY()) |
