The UI_DLG_CONTROL_FROM_POS() function returns the definition of the control that the mouse is over.

Example

This example tells you where the mouse is by reporting the definition of the control it is over.

dim dlg_title as C
dlg_title = "Where is the Mouse"
ui_dlg_box(dlg_title,<<%dlg%
{wrap=100}
Move the mouse around the dialog. Notice that as you move the mouse, the current control's definition is shown.;
{timer=timer}
{interval=.05}
{line=1,0};
{lf};
{region}
First name: |[.20fname];
Last name: |[.20lname];
City: |[.20city] State: [.4state] Zip: [.6zip];
{endregion};
{line=1,0};
{region};
Current control:;
{frame=1,1}
{region}
{text=80,2:current_control};
{endregion};
;
{endregion};
{lf};
<10&OK!ok> <10&Cancel!cancel>;
%dlg%,<<%code%
if a_dlg_button = "timer" then
    a_dlg_button = ""
    current_control = ui_dlg_control_from_pos(dlg_title)
    current_control = remove_blank_lines(current_control)
end if
%code%)
