- PCBASIC handles the mouse activity for the system, menus,
-
- dialog boxes and scroll bars. The BASIC programmer only has
-
- to take care of clicks within the main windows. PCBASIC can
-
- even vector to a line number as soon as the mouse is clicked
-
- in the active window.
-
-
-
- The special Edit menu simplifies editing. It takes care of
-
- 'Cut', 'Copy' and 'Paste' for your dialog boxes automatically.
-
- But you can handle the Edit menu selections for the active
-
- window yourself. The Edit menu can vector to a BASIC line, or
-
- you can poll for menu selections whenever you are ready.
-
-
-
- PCBASIC has powerful mouse sensing commands, to make your
-
- job still easier. Your BASIC program can detect a single click
-
- or a multiple click with one MOUSE function call. Other calls
-
- return the starting, ending and current locations of the mouse.
-
- The functions can return either graphic coordinates or the line
-
- and column location for editing text! That makes highlighting
-
- selected text simple, even when using a proportional font.
