 Detect cursor position |
|
Hello,
How to detect if the mouse cursor is crossing over or out of a specific area of a GUI? In my case, this area is composed by the lines/items of a tree list: I would like to deactivate mouse cursor events when it is out of the tree list area...
More: is it possible to change mouse cursor when this happens?
Thank you.
Cordialement.

 Hello,
You could use "getcurpos" in a function..

Hello (Forgot to specify it is a Gtkdialog3 GUI).
Thank you for your fast reply!
Where could I find explanations and examples of the way to use "getcurpos"?
Cordialement.

I have been doing a lot of searching and coding and came up with this:
| Code: |
#!/bin/sh
move (){
sopp="`cat /tmp/who|sed -e 's/^.*\(...\)$/\1/'`"
where
if [ $sop = $sopp ];then
return
fi
PRESS_EVENT="`cat /tmp/PRESS_EVENT`"
grep -Fv "$PRESS_EVENT" /tmp/list > /tmp/tmp
grep -Fm1 -B500 "$TREE" /tmp/tmp | grep -v "$TREE" > /tmp/tmp1
echo "$PRESS_EVENT" >> /tmp/tmp1
grep -Fm1 -A500 "$TREE" /tmp/tmp >> /tmp/tmp1
mv -f /tmp/tmp1 /tmp/list
}
where(){
getcurpos > /tmp/who
sop="`cat /tmp/who|sed -e 's/^.*\(...\)$/\1/'`"
}
export -f move
ls -1 /usr/share/backgrounds > /tmp/list
export -f where
export test="
<tree rules_hint=\"true\" hover-selection=\"true\" tooltip-text=\"Drag'n drop items to move them in list\">
<label>Backgrounds</label>
<input>cat /tmp/list</input>
<variable>TREE</variable>
<height>300</height><width>200</width>
<action signal=\"button-press-event\">echo \$TREE > /tmp/PRESS_EVENT</action>
<action signal=\"button-press-event\">where</action>
<action signal=\"button-release-event\">move</action>
<action signal=\"button-release-event\">refresh:TREE</action>
</tree>"
gtkdialog3 --center -p test
|
I did not allow for cursor drift though. So click and release must be at the same position exactly. Modify it as you wish.
Now you do realize I would not do this for just anybody!

I don't think I mentioned this, but I know almost nothing about the use of "sed" in programming. I actually found an example on the forum and cut and pasted it with minor modifications as to the source it was reading from and the number of characters to return.
But who knows.
One of these days, I may actually be able to do a little programming on my own.

Hello,
Thanks 8-bit..
I spent most of my lunch writing a script to demo getcurpos, but didnt finish it before I had to go back to work, and when I got home, you already had.. 
Here is the first part..
| Quote: |
#!/bin/sh
while z=1
do
MOUSE_X="`getcurpos | awk '{print $1}'`"
MOUSE_Y="`getcurpos | awk '{print $2}'`"
echo $MOUSE_X
echo $MOUSE_Y
sleep 1
done |
Run in a terminal, it echos the cursor position...

I originally had one similar to yours that worked fine in a terminal.
But for some reason, the same thing dropped into a gtkdialog script did not populate the variables.
I am still trying to figure out why it would work in a terminal and not in a gtkdialog script.

Hi guys,
Nice one.
How about:
# ==============================
#!/bin/sh
while z=1
do
tput clear
MOUSE_X="`getcurpos | awk '{print $1}'`"
MOUSE_Y="`getcurpos | awk '{print $2}'`"
echo $MOUSE_X
echo $MOUSE_Y
sleep 1
done
# ==============================

Hello,
I am just coming back home! Thanks to all of you for your very useful comments and code lines much appreciated.
Now I have to understand... and adapt!
"See" you soon!

# ============================== |
What does the "tput clear" line do?
The reason I am curious, is that with my attempt at using getcurpos, If I get carried away with mouse clicks, the program tries to execute the returned variable witch messes up the application.

Clears the terminal between inputs...
(Instead of scrolling them in the terminal.)

Argolance,
Perhaps some signal functions in gtkdialog would help -
| Code: |
#! /bin/bash
export DIALOG='

</window>
'
gtkdialog3 --program=DIALOG

Specifically, the "enter-notify-event" and "leave-notify-event" signals.

Seaside,
Thank you for the signal function example!
It gives one a better idea of what can be done.
