PowerBuilder event information Event ID: pbm_dwnmousemove
MouseMove is not a standard PowerBuilder DataWindow event. To write a script for this event, you must first define a user event for the event ID pbm_dwnmousemove.

xpos |
Integer by value. The distance of the pointer from the left side of the DataWindow’s workspace. The distance is given in pixels. |
ypos |
Integer by value. The distance of the pointer from the top of the DataWindow’s workspace. The distance is given in pixels. |
row |
Long by value. The number of the row under the pointer. If the pointer is not over a row, the value of the row argument is 0. For example, row is 0 when the user double-clicks outside the data area, in text or spaces between rows, or in the header, summary, or footer area. |

The dwo, Name, or DWObject argument provides easy access to the control the user clicks. You do not need to know the coordinates of elements within the DataWindow to program control-specific responses to the user’s clicks. For example, you can prevent editing of a column and use the Clicked event to set data or properties for the column and row the user clicks.
PowerBuilder programming note The xpos and ypos arguments provide the same values the functions PointerX and PointerY return when you call them for the DataWindow control.
