Orcad PCB Designer. form -> mouseActivity

Check the axlFormSetMouseActive() documentation and look at the example in  <cdsroot>/share/pcb/examples/form/basic.

In the form callback you check for form->mouseActivity.

This is my procedure "test", which creates the FORM "test.form" and contain the procedure "Test _Action"

procedure (test)
  test_form = axlFormCreate( (gensym) "test.form" nil 'Test_Action t)
);end procedure

In the procedure "test_Action" I want check if mouse is active in the form. In the form - the Action 1 should be executes, if not in the form - Action 2:

procedure (Test_Action)

if the mouse in the Form - "Active"

...Action1
If the mouse outside of the Form - "Not Active"
...Action 2
);end procedure

Unfortunately I don't understoode how the mouse activity (click or if the mouse cursor in the FORM) in the FORM could be check. The first Idea was  test.form->mouseActivity. But how it should be implemented? There are not comments In the SKILL reference regarding the option ->MouseActivity.

I'm not sure why you want to know when the mouse is not on the form.

The callback function is only called when there is an activity on the form, so mouse en keyboard input.

So, you can use the mouse position to show some helptip or other information when hovering over an item.

procedure (test ()
  test_form = axlFormCreate( (gensym) "test.form" nil 'Test_Action t)
    axlFormSetMouseActive(test_form)
);end procedure


procedure (Test_Action  (fw)
    cond(
        (fw->mouseActive  print("mouse on form"))
        (t
              print("callback on form, but no mouse activity")
        )
    )
);end procedure
