Hi Malc, I'm working on a project where I often use the element Mouse Move, in the previous version [1.1.3.1] works so well,that sends trig if you move the mouse, now sends trig every second, even if you do not move the mouse. 😝 Give it a look, meanwhile, have been forced to return to version [1.1.3.1].

Finally I managed to understand what had happened. Element Mouse Move, receives some trig every second, if the Task Manager is open. This no longer comforts me. I'd appreciate it when you have time, if you investigate the case.

Thanks

Mark

Hi Mark,

That sounds strange. You say it definitely doesn't happen in 1.1.3.1? That's not to say that I would expect it to happen there either but I don't recall any changes made in 1.1.4 that might cause this.

Hmm.

I made a simple mouse over module that outputs the x and y + any triggers and I cant replicate that at all using the latest official beta.

No triggers in v1.1.4 on XP here 2!

Tip: close the task manager 😉

P.S: show us that part of ur OSM!

Unfortunately I have to correct me, because now that I understand as it is, even the version [1.1.3.1] is suffering from the same problem. Also exported as exe, the example you posted, I get trig every second with the task open. I remind you that I'm using SynthMaker on Windows 7 x64.

@ sunsynth 😀 he he, good tip

Weird. I use Win7 Pro x64 too and just exported an exe and still nothing like what you report. Tried all the different tabs in the task manager and different update speeds but nothing.

🙁

If not mistaken, but your Windows is installed on a Mac

aliasant ·

hmm .. True but under bootcamp.

I dont think there is a difference between your system and mine or? Am I the only one NOT getting the weird results?

sunsynth ·

OK,

just tested it on win 7 with 113RC1 and EXE compiled:

Only if i change the window with [ALT]-[TAB] w/o Mouse moves i get 2 trigger! With process explorer from Sysinternals...

If i use the Win7-Taskman i get 2 triggers every refresh (View-Update Speed) of the Taskman-Window if the exe is focused! =>Strange

I can replicate this in Vista now. I need to have the mouse over the module (but left still ie. not moving) for the triggers to occur.

At least I can now look into why this is occurring 🙂

Yeah. That works for me too in Win7

Well after a bit of digging it seems that Windows is sending the mouse move messages. I created a completely new application and tried it out there - same thing happened. Can't find anything on the web about this so I have no idea why it's happening.

The only solution I can think of is to ignore mouse move messages sent from the system if the mouse position is unchanged.

After a relentless search I found only this http://www.quirksmode.org/blog/archives/2008/04/something_odd_h.html not to help much, but out of curiosity

My solution seems to work well so that'll be in the next release.

If you want to give it a try you can use the latest exe I posted on this thread: [old link]

We confirm that no longer receiving trigger when the task manager is open. 😀 Thanks Malc.

Sorry Malc, but the problem not is resolved on exported exe 😝

Indeed, you only have the standalone SM beta. You'll need the updated exe.dll to sort that. Coming soon!
