Hi.
Though you will need a few more gadgets to manage this well, you can always:
on mouseMove
set the loc of grc "yourLine" to the mouseLoc
end mouseMove
But the motion will be smooth.

Subject: dragging a line gets dashed
Hello,
LC 6.1, Win7, I have the following handler to let the user drag a line:
lock messages
repeat while the mouse is down
wait with messages
drag from tOldLoc to the mouseLoc
put the mouseLoc into tOldLoc
end repeat
unlock messages
dragging the mouse the line gets drawn fine, if I move the mouse slowly.
When moving the mouse faster, the line gets dashed/dotted. So obviously the
repeat loop can't take off the mouse movement. I tried with/without lock
messages and with/without waiting, but the result is always almost the same.
Obviosly the repeat loop also depends on the processor cylcle, but my
computer isn't that old and I think pretty representative for the average of
my clients.
Any idea, how to speed up the drawing process, so that the line doesn't get
dashed?
Thanks for any ideas
Tiemo
