Release response as input for HitTest

[David McFarlane]

Maja,

Your question entails two things:  (1) Getting a "release" response, 
and  (2) using that with HitTest.  I assume that you have a handle on 
#1 (otherwise, start with the "{key} nomenclature" topic in the 
E-Basic Help facility), and I will give you only a hint for #2.

If you look at the SlideState.HitTest topic in the E-Basic Help, then 
you will notice that HitTest will take any arbitrary x, y values for 
its arguments.  HitTest does not care where those x, y values come 
from.  So you merely need to get the mouser cursor position at the 
time of release and then feed that to HitTest.

Hmm, now that I think of it, forget about "release" responses.  If 
you already have drag & drop code working, then you probably already 
directly address the mouse (see the MouseDevice topic in the EB 
Help).  In that case, simply do what you already do to drag the 
object, and then when done dragging feed the final cursor postion in 
to HitTest.  That's how I would go.
