CreateTabber + mouse functions

BlitzPlus Forums/BlitzPlus Beginners Area/CreateTabber + mouse functions

If I use the createtabber function I can no longer return mouse functions.

As in

window=createwindow("test",0,0,800,600)
tabber=createtabber(0,0,clientwidth(window),clientheight(window),window)
while keydown(1)=false
if mousedown(1)=true then end
wend

that code will not end when I press the left mouse button.
Im sure theres a logical explanation, I just cant figure it out :P

If I change it to keydown(57) that will end when I press the space button and if I remove the tabber it will close down the program upon the left mouse button.

Any info on this and I would be grateful

shouldn't you use the GUI-Events system, if you use the GUI?

Const MOUSE_DOWN=$201
Const GADGET_ACTION=$401
Const WINDOW_CLOSE=$803
Repeat 
   EventID%= WaitEvent()
   Select EventID
      Case MOUSE_DOWN
         DEBUGLOG "Mouse"
      Case GADGET_ACTION
         DEBUGLOG "Gadget"
      Case WINDOW_CLOSE
         End
      Default
         DEBUG "unknown ID=" + EventID
   End Select
Forever 
End

yeah I was using the GUI event actions at first but they dont work either(the gui keydown commands work though)
Think Ive figured it out though.
It would appear as though no mouse functions work whilst over a tabber gadget
Im just doing some testing now

yep that was it.
my real problem was the group of my canvas was wrong so the tabber was on top(although the canvas was visible :S )
