As with most applications, I have the left mouse button initiate clicks on objects as well as moving those same objects. The problem is detecting a mouse click versus a mouse-click-and-drag.

Here is what I have done - it works but it is clunky (IMO):

left click is detected, the mouse coordinates are captured and a timer is started.

in a while loop, the mouse coordinates are checked and if the mouse has moved more than 2 pixels from the start, then a drag is performed

if the timer reaches a set time ~80-100 ms, then a click is performed

The issue is the delay between click initiated and performed is 80-100 ms and might be more on other systems. I was curious if there is a better more efficient way to detect the two events?
