    GetMouseEvent

    Get next mouse event from the queue.

    Declaration

    Source position: mouseh.inc line 94

    procedure GetMouseEvent(var MouseEvent: TMouseEvent);

    Description

    GetMouseEvent returns the next mouse event (a movement, button press or button release), and waits for one if none is available in the queue.

    Some mouse drivers can implement a mouse event queue which can hold multiple events till they are fetched. Others don't, and in that case, a one-event queue is implemented for use with PollMouseEvent.

    Errors

    None.
