[Closed] Mouse button hold timer

I tried the recommendation on that page and could not get it to work… when launched on a secondary thread, the callback did not work.

Please let us know if you manage to get it to work.

I use this modification to start it in a new thread (not sure if this is the way to do it)

str+="	public InterceptMouse()
"
 	str+="	{
"
 	str+="		Thread thread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(WorkThreadFunction)); 
"
 	str+="		thread.Start(); 
"
 
 	str+="	}
"
 	
 	
 	str+="	public void WorkThreadFunction()
"
 	str+="	{
"
 	str+="	   _hookID = SetHook(HookCallback);
"
 	str+="		MaxHwnd = IntPtr.Zero;
"
 	str+="		restrictToMax = false;
"
 	str+="	}
"
 

As predicted this stop the hook from working, maybe it’s a message pump failing somehow? Maybe it needs a DispatchMessage() somewhere… my magic is weak in this area

I tried using this, but instead of printing I set another Global to the state, so mouse move, up, down.

However, when I check my global, it keeps reporting moving and not up/down like it should when I click the mouse. It does at first, but then loses track or something?
