Trigger - if mouse button held for certain period of time?

[stupomer]

HI Gintaras,
Thank you for your super quick responses on my flood of questions.
Can a trigger be if a key or mouse click is held down for a certain period of time?
Sometimes middle mouse triggers can get triggered when using the mouse wheel.
It would be nice to make it a little harder to activate - i.e. held down for 0.5 sec or something

Thanks,
Stuart

Assign new filter function:

Code:

Copy      Help

;/
function# iid FILTER&f

int+ g_mousembtime=GetTickCount
ret iid

In the macro, insert this at the beginning:

Code:

Copy      Help

int+ g_mousembtime
if(GetTickCount-g_mousembtime<500) ret

Here 500 is number of milliseconds from button down to up.

Once I get a hang of this, This will improve the stability of my macros in a very dynamic environment by filtering them to their specific application!
THanks again,

Some Multimice button return key-combinations assigned to them. I would love to have this filtering function but with a key-combo instead, which is what my Mouse button 5 delivers (specifically 'CA1)

Thanks

It should work if you assign CA1 trigger to the macro.

Hi Gintaras,
I am trying to do something a bit ambitious

I have a mouse device with middle click button and 2 side buttons (buttons 4 and 5 which need to be hot-keyed to specific keys in the application I am working in but for the sake of simplicity we can call them M4 and M5)

I would like to use the mouse chord function where each of the buttons MM, M4 and M5 can be the initial trigger for a unique set of macros. i.e.

MM + M4 = macro 1
MM+ MM = macro 2
MM+ M5 = macro 3

M4 + M4 = macro 4
M4 + MM = macro 5
M4 + M5 = macro 6

M5 + M4 = macro 7........etc

When I have tried this, there seems to be a conflict with the triggers i.e. macro 4 and macro 1 are both being triggered off M4 as a second click (even though)
I have tried to write individual parallel filter functions but it doesn't seem to work

If THAT's not too hard, I would also like to have it so that if instead of mousechordng to a second button, you instead hold down for a specific periord of time, M4, MM, or M5 it runs a different Macro (i.e. not a chorded macro). You wrote me in the forum about that but I couldn't get it to work superimposed on Mouse chording.

I know this is a lot but these functions would certainly supercharge the mouse for applications where we switch among a number of different app functions (i.e. image software) over and over....


Thanks again......

I'm trying to combine the mouse hold filter with the keyboard detector filter functions.

This way on a second mouse I can use clicks and hold clicks that are not on the primary mouse.

Ok...$50,000 question. How do you combine all the mouse filter to make a super filter...

Time, chords, and mouse detector?

an FF_MChords/FF_Mouse1/FF_MouseHold filter function.

This would allow a mouse to be used in tons of different ways...

Thanks,
Jimmy Vig

When need to assign 2 or more existing filter functions to a macro, you can instead assign new filter function that calls these filter functions. Then you don't have to edit the existing functions.

Simple example.
Here FF_A and FF_B are existing filter functions. FF_A_and_B is new filter function.
Don't forget to check "This function is a filter function" in Properties.

Macro Macro1281
Trigger CSa //FF_A_and_B

Function FF_A_and_B

Sweet. I guess I should have just asked the right question. That was actually the first thing that popped into my head, but I just pushed it aside thinking it wasn't the right angle. Should have trusted my instinct. Thanks for the example, I wouldn't have know how to do that on my own.
