GetMouse() in MouseUp() does not show clicked button

[thaflo]

I wrote a small app to check messages from the mouse. in MouseDown() I call GetMouse and get different numbers for the different mouse buttons in MouseUp() I call GetMouse and get always 0 for different mouse buttons

src attached run in terminal to see output

(I am using Haiku in VMWare)

When MouseUp happens, the buttons are already released. So the buttons are 0.

If you need to do something on MouseUp that depends on a specific button, you have to remember in MouseDown which button was pressed.

Everything is working as intended and documented here.

Okay, thanks for the explanation. Didn't find that in the documentation... or at least I didn't understand it. I'm new to the Haiku API.

I added a note about it in hrev57308.
