Description | Use the mouseLine function within a handler to determine which line the mouse is hovering over, in order to take some action based on the click. The mouseLine function only returns locations in a field. If the mouse pointer is not over a field, the mouseLine function returns empty. To get a chunk expression describing the exact word or text group that the mouse is over, use the mouseChunk function. | ||||||
