This one has me stumped:
I wrote a stupid little program. There is one form, two edit boxes, and a
MouseOver event handler. In the handler is the code:
void __fastcall TForm1::FormMouseMove(TObject *Sender, TShiftState Shift,
int X, int Y)
{
EditX->Text = " " + X;
EditY->Text = " " + Y;
// Jungle Sounds
if (X == 10) PlaySound("c:\\windows\\media\\jungle asterisk.wav",
"", SND_ASYNC);
if (X == 20) PlaySound("c:\\windows\\media\\jungle close.wav", "",
SND_ASYNC);
if (X == 30) PlaySound("c:\\windows\\media\\jungle critical
stop.wav", "", SND_ASYNC);
// and so on
// Musica Sounds
if (Y == 10) PlaySound("c:\\windows\\media\\musica asterisk.wav",
"", SND_ASYNC);
if (Y == 20) PlaySound("c:\\windows\\media\\musica close.wav", "",
SND_ASYNC);
if (Y == 30) PlaySound("c:\\windows\\media\\musica critical
stop.wav", "", SND_ASYNC);
if (Y == 40) PlaySound("c:\\windows\\media\\musica default.wav", "",
SND_ASYNC);
// and so with Utopia and Robotz on up to 370 for all 68 Media
sounds
// and the window is at least 400 by 400 in size.
}
So, OK, this is supposed to operate like a harp with strings in the
horizontal and vertical directions that are each attached to a sound and are
plucked when the cursor passes over them. And the sounds work OK.
What is puzzling is what appears in the EditX and EditY boxes. I was hoping
that the X and Y coordinates would appear. NOPE!
As you move the cursor in the X direction, what scrolls through the Edit Box
are the names of the paths to the first 9 jungle sounds.
As you move the cursor in the Y direction, what scrolls through the Edit Box
are the names of the paths to the first 11 jungle sounds.
And I do mean "scroll" as in an LED message board.
Can anyone tell me what is going on here? I am mystified.
Thanks,
Nick
