Ok, this is a really stupid question so I figured I'd put it here and save myself "some" embarrassment. If I want the user to be able to input a string, how can I get it so that the input function stops on the click of the mouse, instead of having to press [ENTER].

If ScanCode>3
String$=String$+INKEY$()

If MouseClick()=1 and (MouseX>25 and MouseX45 and MouseY

I think the way input works is with the enter key. I think you would have to code a whole new input code if you wanted it to wait for the mouseclick Thats just me, I do things the long and hard way LOL

I tend to do things the long hard way as well. Thanks though, looks like I'd better get to getting this programmed.

How about running inkey$ and at the same time replacing the [enter] key with the mouseclick.

I'm sure this is possible but i couldn't tell you how. I'm new to all this programming lark.

Well the way input was coded (in C++) I dont see it very possible to do this unless you recode the input command using scankey and then converting the number into a letter
