Mouse messages while down

[Mark Schonewille]

Sarah,

400 individual buttons is bad design. Draw a grid and use a mouseDown  
handler if you want to store the clicked location. Use the  
mouseRelease handler to get the new location. Calculate in which  
rectangle the new mouseLoc is, without a repeat loop. I am sure you  
can do this.

Best regards,

Mark
