FB II COMPILER
Keep control over the mouse clicks
The eyedropper routine is in a loop, so when I click on something outside the (eyedropper) window, all seems OK. When I exit the loop, the clicks take effect and my window disappears. Is there a way to clear them from memory?

Sure - call FlushEvents. That clears out the event queue, including all of your clicks.

Be careful though. Because if there are events in queue that happened _before_ your loop executed, and you flush them, they will not be processed. For instance, if an update event was waiting for the next null event to be processed, and you called FlushEvents, the update event would be flushed along with your mousedown events, and would not be processed by your app.
Just something to think about whenever calling FlushEvents. If you start noticing weird behavior, as if your app was not receiving events, FlushEvents may be the culprit.
