This function is called when you want to use the mouse to delineate a rectangle within an image window.

Declaration:

	Copy Code
AT_ERRCOUNT ACCUAPI IG_GUI_select_track_mouse ( HIGEAR hIGear, DWORD dwGrpID, HWND hWndImage, INT nX, INT nY, LPFNIG_GUISELECT lpfnSelect, LPVOID lpPrivate );

Arguments:

Name	Type	Description
hIGear	HIGEAR	HIGEAR handle of image.
dwGrpID	DWORD	Display group identifier, used for drawing image in the image window.
hWndImage	HWND	Handle of the Image window.
nX	INT	The X position of the left mouse button click.
nY	INT	The Y position of the left mouse button click.
lpfnSelect	LPFNIG_GUISELECT	Far pointer to the GUI Select callback function. This is called when a rectangle is created.
lpPrivate	LPVOID	Far pointer to private data (passed to the callback function).

Return Value:

Returns the number of ImageGear errors that occurred during this function call.

Supported Raster Image Formats:

All pixel formats supported by ImageGear Professional.

Sample:

Display, Clipboard

Remarks:

Call this function in response to the windows message WM_LBUTTONDOWN. The mouse position is followed while the left mouse button is down. When the left mouse button is released, your lpfnSelect callback function is called with the coordinates of the rectangle that was described. The callback function may use the rectangle data in any way.

If aspect ratio preservation is in effect for the image (that is, if the aspect ratio setting is anything other than IG_DSPL_NOT_FIXED), then the dragged rectangle will automatically be aspect ratio corrected.

You can obtain the starting mouse coordinates (nX, nY) from the parameters passed by Windows with the WM_... message.

You cannot use IG_GUI_..._track_mouse() functions with a WM_RBUTTONDOWN message. ImageGear responds only to left mouse button clicks.
