Low-Level Interface Control

The core of Mathematica's unique power for building interfaces is in its extremely flexible high-level symbolic paradigm. But Mathematica also allows you to build interfaces at a lower level, more familiar to traditional user interface programmers.

EventHandler — explicitly handle many low-level interface events

CellEventActions   ▪ NotebookEventActions   ▪ FrontEndEventActions

MousePosition — find the current mouse position in many coordinate systems

MouseAppearance — change the appearance of the mouse cursor

ControllerState — find the current state of any control in an external controller device

CurrentValue — test and set hundreds of user interface properties

AbsoluteCurrentValue   ▪ Clock   ▪ ControlActive   ▪ $ControlActiveSetting

Dynamic — define dynamic content

DynamicModule — scope dynamic interface variables

CreateDocument   ▪ CellPrint   ▪ NotebookWrite   ▪ EmitSound

FrontEndExecute — programmatically execute built-in Mathematica interface commands
