Can reaper detect the action of mouse?

[dsyrock]

Can reaper tell what are the users doing with mouse? Such as <Is the left button down?> <Is the left button up?>,etc. I knew the <get_action_context> can tell which direction you are scrolling the mousewheel, but I'm wondering if I can do it a bit further

Yeah its possible native only gfx window and via JS API extension to capture anywhere from reaper (getmousestate or intercept/peek messages). With JS extension you can do complex stuff

So it's not any way to capture the mouse's action in arrange view?

As Sexan mentioned, Julian Saders' Plugin can do exactly that:

In addition to that: To check, whether the mouse is currently in Arrange-View, you can use reaper.BR_GetMouseCursorContext()
