Detect mouse button release ?

[Werty]

How do you detect if a mouse button has been released ?

The mouse functions in the help file got nothing, and the UDF helpfile has no example of how to use the _WinAPI_Mouse_Event function.

I need to detect if the right button is released (not if it is pressed, only that it is released)

Thanks.

And where do you want to detect the button release? When you decide that then look at the other mouse-threads from today.

you can use _IsPressed() to see if it's down. if you loop it until it's not down, you're good

No where, and anywhere.

I need it when zooming with the right button in Google Earth, then I want my script to do something when i release the right button, so the cursor isnt placed any particular place, it can be anywhere.

It's just the release itself I need.

Wouldnt that just say that the button is unpressed, not released ?

I tried the ispressed like this...

If _IsPressed("02", $dll) Then
        MsgBox(1,"hello","hello")
        EndIf

But dunno how I would go about checking for a release of the button.

cameronsdad meant more like this:

#Include <Misc.au3>

While 1
    While _IsPressed("01")
        ToolTip("Button down")
        Sleep(10)
    WEnd
    ToolTip("Button up")
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

or

#Include <Misc.au3>

While 1
    If _IsPressed("01")Then
        While _IsPressed("01")
            ToolTip("Button down")
            Sleep(10)
        WEnd
    ToolTip("Button up")
    EndIf
    Sleep(10)
WEnd
