Just wondering what the simplest way is to just detect when the mouse is over/not-over a jit.pwindow?

It seems that when idlemouse is enabled you can easily detect when the mouse is over a pwindow, but how do I detect when it moves away from the pwindow? The dump output for the pwindow sets a flag to one as soon as the mouse goes over, but doesn’t set it back to zero when the mouse is moved away.

I’m sure there are ways to test vs. the boundary values of the pwindow, but is there an easier/more elegant way?

Thanks!

with [route mouseidleout] at the pwindow outlet.

Is this true? The reference page doesn’t mention it.

I tried it, but I don’t get mouseidleout from the pwindow with the idlemouse flag set or cleared.

I had looked at the reference page for jit.pwindow and it also doesn’t seem to have any indication that mouseout is output from pwindow regardless of mode. Only mouseover on enter.

i.e. if I [route mouseidle] i’ll know once the mouse has moused-over the pwindow. But I can’t seem to find a combination that tells me when I move away.

Am I missing something?

Thanks!

No. this is a bug. It will be fixed.
thanks,
wes

Scott, I tried your patch but in Max5 it doesn’t work. I’ll guess based on the subsequent response from Wes that it won’t work until a fix is implemented.No Prob – just good to know so i don’t chase after it for the moment.

Thanks all for such helpful, and quick responses.

:-D

In Max5 you can use the new hover object:
