How to determine when mouseDragged has finished

in Programming Questions • 1 year ago

Hey guys,

I have written some code where it will display some data on the screen. I have broken up the data into three rows and I want to be able to change their position by changing their Y direction variable... Let me show you what I mean.

text ("Truck turnaround time: ", width/12, RDy*4*height/20 + height/9);

So as you can see this piece of text will change its height as I increase or decrease the variable RDy.

Here is the (unfinished) screen layout for reference...

Basically what I want to know is, if the mouse is between a specific bound and is dragged into another bound, how can I determine where the mouse has been released in order to increment or decrement the variable RDy to control the row in which the data is being displayed.

Also if anyone has a better idea of how to do this, please by all means let me know.

~~Sorry if I have missed something, but - can't you use mouseReleased() ?~~

Okay, I think I might understand it better:
Inside mouseReleased(), try something such as the following:

RDy = (mouseY - height / 9) / (4 * height / 20);

The general idea is to isolate the mouse position (remove the irrelevant pixels that are located in the buffer at the top of the screen) and divide that by the size of the rows...

I tried mouseRelease() before, but it was giving me errors... and I forgot that it must contain a capital R... :/

Anyway... this is what I have so far...

void mouseDragged(){
if (mouseY > 4*height/20 && mouseY < 7*height/20){
startPos = 1;
isDragged = true;
}
}

void mouseReleased(){

if (mouseY > 7*height/20 && mouseY < 10.5*height/20 && isDragged == true && startPos == 1 ){
RDy = 1.93;
RD2y = 0.6;
isDragged = false;
}
}

Ok, so now I need to keep keep a record of what data is in each row. Do you know how I can check if data 1 is in row 2 or if it's data 2 or data 3.

Should I just add another if statement inside the if statement inside the mouseReleased() function?

EDIT: ok, I think I got it now.... code is working so far for row 1 and 2... gotta add in more parameters...

void mouseDragged(){
if (mouseY > 4*height/20 && mouseY < 7*height/20){
    startPos = 1;
    isDragged = true;
}
}

void mouseReleased(){

if (mouseY > 7*height/20 && mouseY < 10.5*height/20 && isDragged == true && startPos == 1 ){
    if (tempPos1 == 1 && tempPos2 == 2){
      RDy = 1.93;
      RD2y = 0.6;
      tempPos1 = 2;
      tempPos2 = 1;
      isDragged = false;
    }

    else if (tempPos1 == 2 && tempPos2 == 1){
      RDy = 1.1;
      RD2y = 1.1;
      tempPos1 = 1;
      tempPos2 = 2;
      isDragged = false;
    }
}
}
