Hi, In checking with events with waitevent, use $205 and $206 events to see if you are "in" or "out" any given canvas. Use EventSource to find which canvas you are entering or leaving. Here, you can simply set global flags to specify if the mouse is "in" or "out" any given canvas where as you can make sure when you hit the mousebutton that your 'pic color' function will only get called when supposed to.

below is sort of pseudo code on checking if the mouse has entered or exited any canvas:

;$205 - Mouse enter 
;Generated when the mouse pointer enters a canvas gadget. 
Case $205
	Select EventSource() 
		Case MainCanvas
		DebugLog "enter MainCanvas"
			
		Case ColorPickerCanvas
		DebugLog "enter ColorPickerCanvas"
	End Select
			
;$206 - Mouse leave 
;Generated when the mouse pointer leaves a canvas gadget. 
Case $206
	Select EventSource() 		
		Case MainCanvas
		DebugLog "exit MainCanvas"
			
		Case ColorPickerCanvas
		DebugLog "exit ColorPickerCanvas"
	End Select

Hope this helps...
