Given my limited understanding what happens below should be that whenever they left click their mouse the x and y position should be updated. However, when run x and y always default back to 0. However, when you debug it and put a breakpoint on the sprintf for when the left mouse button has been clicked it works as expected. Any theories? Am I missing something obvious? Thanks in advance.

Are you sure the dbMouseMoveX () function is behaving as you expect? If you're looking for the position of the mouse try dbMouseX() and dbMouseY().

You're absolutely right. I misread the documentation that comes included. Which BTW doesn't seem to be entirely up to date. For example, it shows one function as dbCls when it's really dbCLS. Is there a place to find more up to date documentation? Thanks.

What you see is what you get. The documentation appears to have been edited from the Dark Basic documentation and some oversights occurred. Since C/C++ is case sensitive this kind of error was more apparent.

Doh. A shame. The framework seems really simple but I can't tell you how much easier great documentation makes life. They might should consider making it online and allowing user edits. I doubt they will but I can hope,right?

Actually, dbCLS and dbCls are two different commands. They are unique. But, you are right about the documentation. It needs an update.

There's another thread in this forum regarding a Wiki project (unofficial) for that purpose. Sorry I don't have the link handy at the moment.

Thanks for your help Lilith. I'll let you know if my minesweeper clone gets made thanks to this.

Wow, you guys are really going to need to hurry up and make some more pages. Quarter of the manual isn't done. I'll look into contributing later tonight.
