/prog/ - Disabling drag-and-drop globally.

Is there a way to set up my mouse so a "click" consists of only pressing the button DOWN, instead of waiting for the up click? I tried setting a global mouse hook and using SendInput to send an MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP message every time it gets a WM_LBUTTONDOWN message, but it doesn't do what I want.

I need it so I can get faster @ Minesweeper. :3 I always wind up clicking different squares than I mean to, because by the time I lift up on the button, I've moved my mouse somewhere else.

OP here, I figured it out. Automatically generating an upclick within my mouse hook after every downclick wasn't working because it was processing the upclick before I exited my hook to let the system process the downclick. The answer was to kill EVERY user-generated (left button) mouse event and send a down/upclick combo on each downclick.

Code if anyone's interested ('flag' is a global variable):



int flag;

...

SetWindowsHookEx(WH_MOUSE_LL, MouseProc, hInst, 0);

...

LRESULT CALLBACK MouseProc(int nCode, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) {

    INPUT I[2];



    if (nCode == HC_ACTION && wParam == WM_LBUTTONUP) {

        if (flag == 0)

            return -1;

        else 

            flag = 0;

    }



    if (nCode == HC_ACTION && wParam == WM_LBUTTONDOWN) {

        if (flag == 0) {

            flag = 1;



            memset(I, 0, 2*sizeof(INPUT));

            I[0].type = I[1].type = INPUT_MOUSE;

            I[0].mi.dwFlags = MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN;

            I[1].mi.dwFlags = MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP;

            SendInput(2, I, sizeof(INPUT));



            return -1;

        }

    }



    return CallNextHookEx(mHook, nCode, wParam, lParam);

}

Your code requires more NULL.

There are missing some NULLs in your code.

Isn't there an environment variable that determines the width of the box around the mouse click point where a release won't generate a drag event? This would probably be the more elegant solution.

U mena delta? Shit like TWM has it in config files. Windows probably has it hardcoded.

Yeah, I found something like that googling, but it still wouldn't register it as a click until the button is released (I assume). I want it to process the click where I press the button down, which is sometimes different from where I release it, since I'm moving the mouse fast and my fingers are slow :/
