Thanks you sadly I didnt succes to get the click evaluated properly.
import c4d class Area(c4d.gui.GeUserArea) : def DrawMsg(self, x1, y1, x2, y2, msg) : self.DrawSetPen(c4d.Vector(.2)) self.DrawRectangle(x1, y1, x2, y2) def InputEvent(self, msg) : mousex = msg[c4d.BFM_INPUT_X] mousey = msg[c4d.BFM_INPUT_Y] self.MouseDragStart(c4d.KEY_MLEFT, mousex, mousey, c4d.MOUSEDRAGFLAGS_DONTHIDEMOUSE | c4d.MOUSEDRAGFLAGS_NOMOVE) mx = mousex my = mousey while True: if msg[c4d.BFM_INPUT_VALUE] == 0: break result, dx, dy, channels = self.MouseDrag() if result!=c4d.MOUSEDRAGRESULT_CONTINUE: break #If we don't move that mean we clicked' if not dx or not dy: print 'clicked' else: mx += dx my += dy print "Mouse Dragging at position [%f,%f]" % (mx, my) end_state = self.MouseDragEnd() if end_state == c4d.MOUSEDRAGRESULT_ESCAPE: print "Escaped" elif end_state == c4d.MOUSEDRAGRESULT_FINISHED: print 'Mouse Drag End' return True class MyDialog(c4d.gui.GeDialog) : def CreateLayout(self) : self.area = Area() self.AddUserArea(1000, c4d.BFH_SCALEFIT|c4d.BFV_SCALEFIT) self.AttachUserArea(self.area, 1000) return True def main() : dialog = MyDialog() dialog.Open(dlgtype=c4d.DLG_TYPE_MODAL_RESIZEABLE, defaultw=500, defaulth=500) if __name__=='__main__': main()As you could see, the first tick is always drag (dx and dy are not equal to 0) even if you don't move the mouse.
Moreover I would like to ask is there a way for changing mouse icon? For exemple I would like to change it when she is outside of my GeUserArea.

Sorry my first post was missing information.
MouseDrag() has to be called first in the loop for each drag event. Then the current input state for the mouse left button has to be retrieved before checking c4d.BFM_INPUT_VALUE.
So the dragging loop would be:mx = mousex my = mousey state = c4d.BaseContainer() while True: result, dx, dy, channels = self.MouseDrag() if result == c4d.MOUSEDRAGRESULT_ESCAPE: break if not self.GetInputState(c4d.BFM_INPUT_MOUSE, c4d.BFM_INPUT_MOUSELEFT, state) : break if state[c4d.BFM_INPUT_VALUE] == 0: print "Released Left Mouse" break if dx == 0 and dy == 0: continue mx += dx my += dy print "Mouse Dragging at position [%f,%f]" % (mx, my)state[c4d.BFM_INPUT_VALUE] gives the mouse left button clicked state. So this allows to check when the mouse button has been released.
If the mouse position hasn't changed then no dragging should be processed.You can change the mouse icon with gui.SetMousePointer().

Thanks you. Tested and solved !

Sorry to bump this thread but is there a way for start drag from a GeUserArea and recieve drop message from TreeViewCustomGui? Or at least is it possible to send message to this TreeViewCustomGui? Or a timer?
Just tell me yes or no
Cause I think I must do the following thing but I prefer ask if there is no other way before ^^
Make my timer function into my GeDialog who call a custom timer function inside my TreeView -

GeUserArea.HandleMouseDrag() is missing in the Python API so it would be really difficult and hacky to send drag and drop data to other gadgets.

If the mouse doesn't move dx and dy are 0. The final mouse delta X and Y values depends on how you calculate the current mouse position.
It's better to subtract the mouse drag delta values:mx -= dx my -= dyThen the final delta value can be calculated:
print mx - mousex
print my - mouseyIf you don't want MouseDrag() to return when the mouse doesn't move, don't pass MOUSEDRAGFLAGS_NOMOVE to MouseDragStart().

Ok I get why it's wrong... The corect loop initialization is:
mousex = msg[c4d.BFM_INPUT_X] mousey = msg[c4d.BFM_INPUT_Y] self.MouseDragStart(c4d.KEY_MLEFT, mousex, mousey, c4d.MOUSEDRAGFLAGS_DONTHIDEMOUSE | c4d.MOUSEDRAGFLAGS_NOMOVE) while self.MouseDrag()[0] == c4d.MOUSEDRAGRESULT_CONTINUE: if msg[c4d.BFM_INPUT_VALUE] == 0: break result, dx, dy, channels = self.MouseDrag() print "dx {} - dy {}".format(dx, dy)While in the documention of https://developers.maxon.net/docs/py/2023_2/modules/c4d.gui/EditorWindow/index.html#EditorWindow.MouseDragStart the main drag loop is done with While true, which give you a wrong value for dx/dy for the first packet of the drag input.
So doing it like in the C++ exemple
win->MouseDragStart(button, mouseX, mouseY, MOUSEDRAGFLAGS_DONTHIDEMOUSE | MOUSEDRAGFLAGS_NOMOVE); while (win->MouseDrag(&dx, &dy, &device) == MOUSEDRAGRESULT_CONTINUE)give us in python
self.MouseDragStart(c4d.KEY_MLEFT, mousex, mousey, c4d.MOUSEDRAGFLAGS_DONTHIDEMOUSE | c4d.MOUSEDRAGFLAGS_NOMOVE) while self.MouseDrag()[0] == c4d.MOUSEDRAGRESULT_CONTINUE:Anyway thanks for your support !

I can't confirm that because the delta values returned from the call to MouseDrag()[0] aren't processed for each while loop:
while self.MouseDrag()[0] == c4d.MOUSEDRAGRESULT_CONTINUE: # dx, dy and channels not retrieved and processedThere should be only one MouseDrag() call for each while loop.

Juste copy paste thoses two codes and do a normal click without dragging. Just a simple click (no move, nothing just a click), So result should be 0 and 0 for dx/dy in all case (in all packet of the drag pool)

You're not retrieving and printing the delta values dx and dy from the self.MouseDrag()[0] calls in the first script. The delta values are 4.0 for the first mouse drag there too.
The limitation with MouseDrag() in Python is the language doesn't support assignments in expressions.
