Preferences and Manx's SDB give this "instant feedback", and it's nice. I thought of two ways to accomplish this, and neither seems to work. One way is to set the prop-gadget's FOLLOWMOUSE flag and check the gadget's PropInfo structure every time I get a MOUSEMOVE message; the other way is to check the PropInfo each time I get an INTUITUCKS message. The problem is that, as soon as I press the mouse's select button, all MOUSEMOVE and INTUITICKS messages appear to be suspended until I release the button (at which point I get a flood of MOUSEMOVE messages). I have tried various combinations of GADGIMMEDIATE, RELVERIFY, and FOLLOWMOUSE in the gadget's Activation field, and I reply to all messages. Am I missing something? If I ever do succeed in getting continuous messages, is it reasonable to expect the PropInfo structure to be updated continuously? Is there another way to get the desired effect?
