FindServiceWindow

The FindServiceWindow function determines which part of a text service component's floating window a mouse-down event has occurred in.

FUNCTION FindServiceWindow (thePoint: Point; 
                            VAR theWindow: WindowPtr): Integer;

thePoint

The point where the mouse button was pressed (in global coordinates, as stored in the where field of the Event Manager event record).

theWindow

A pointer to a Window Manager window pointer (defined by the WindowPtr data type) that identifies the floating window in which the mouse-down event occurred. If the mouse-down event did not occur in a text service component floating window, this parameter is set to NIL.

DESCRIPTION

The FindServiceWindow function is similar to the Window Manager FindWindow function, except that FindServiceWindow searches the floating window service
layer only.

FindServiceWindow calls the Window Manager FindWindow function. It returns one of the following predefined constants to identify the location of the mouse-down event.

Constant	Value	Explanation (Continued)
inDesk	0	None of the following
inMenuBar	1	In menu bar
inSysWindow	2	In system window
inContent	3	In content region (except grow, if active)
inDrag	4	In drag region
inGrow	5	In grow region (active window only)
inGoAway	6	In go-away region (active window only)
inZoomIn	7	In zoom-in region
inZoomOut	8	In zoom-out region

It the mouse position is not over a floating window, FindServiceWindow returns inDesk (0) as its function result, and sets the return parameter theWindow to NIL.
