Mouse tracking for Windows

win-mouse

Mouse tracking for Windows. Receive the screen position of various mouse events. The events are also emitted while another application is in the foreground.

Tested in Windows Vista with node versions 0.10 and 0.12, and latest iojs.

npm install win-mouse

Usage

The module returns an event emitter instance.

var mouse = require('win-mouse')();

mouse.on('move', fuction(x, y) {
	console.log(x, y);
});

The program will not terminate as long as a mouse listener is active. To allow the program to exit, either call mouse.unref (works as unref/ref on a TCP server) or mouse.destroy().

The events emitted are: move, left-down, left-up, left-drag, right-up, right-down and right-drag. For each event the screen coordinates are passed to the handler function.
