InLine response time data logging

[Anthony]

The problem that I encounter when I try to use automatic data logging
is that it logs the first response, regardless of where it is on the
screen. I only want to log the response time that it took for the
subject to click within the boundaries of the box on the screen.My
code is below, if this helps:

      'This code was taken from
http://groups.google.com/group/e-prime/browse_thread/thread/6411f6b4b8614f19/b794d83bb662dfef?pli=1
	   'and adapted for use by Anthony *******

	   'Designate "theState" as the Default Slide State, which is the
       'current, ActiveState on the Slide object "Stimulus"
        Dim theState as SlideState
        Set theState = DisplayScreen.States("Default")
        Dim next_mX as Long, next_mY as Long
        Dim strHit As String
        Dim theMouseResponseData As MouseResponseData
        Do
        'Was there a response?
                If DisplayScreen.InputMasks.Responses.Count > 0 Then
                        'Get the mouse response
                        Set theMouseResponseData =
CMouseResponseData(DisplayScreen.InputMasks.Responses(1))
                        'Determine string name of SlideImage or
SlideText object at
                        'mouse click coordinates. Assign that value to
strHit
                        strHit =
theState.HitTest(theMouseResponseData.CursorX,
theMouseResponseData.CursorY)
                        'Compare string name where mouse click
occurred to CorrectAnswer
                        'attribute on each trial, and dispense a treat
if they are equal (i.e., the target was clicked)
                        'NOTE: This comparison is case sensitive
                        If strHit = "Image1" Then
							writeport &H378,1
							WritePort &H378,2
                        End If
                End If
                Do Until (strHit = "Image1")
                'Capture & process further mouse clicks:
                        If (Mouse.Buttons And ebMouseButton1) Then
                                Mouse.GetCursorPos next_mX, next_mY
                                strHit = theState.HitTest( next_mX,
next_mY )
                        End If
                        If strHit = "Image1" Then
							writeport &H378,1
							WritePort &H378,2
						End If


				'Loops until the button is clicked
                Loop
        			Loop Until (strHit = "Image1")
