ptrDown

The low level event ptrDown may occur for windows and for components of the types Generic Box.

The event ptrDown event occurs when a pointer button is pressed.

Information about the position of the pointer and about the pointer-button(s) pressed can be obtained using the macros %%EvPtrButton, %%EvPtrPos and %%EvPtrState.

Hint: action logic for the event ptrDown is typically related to dragging activity.
Any other action logic is often more appropriate when the event ptrUp occurs.
See also the events ptrDrag and ptrMove.

In MWAPI, this event is called "PDOWN".
