Mouse and Keyboard Events should be available for Windows!

Why are Mouse & Keyboard Events only available for Gadgets?
-> #PB_Event_Gadget / #PB_Event_SysTray
Why is it not available for a Window ?
This would help a lot for anything custom on the window.
Ex. it would allow a WindowedScreen with a mouse that is not captured!
I really dont understand this and im tired of coding workarounds!
It would be nice to get support for:
Code: Select all
#PB_EventType_MouseEnter
#PB_EventType_MouseLeave
#PB_EventType_MouseMove
#PB_EventType_MouseWheel
#PB_EventType_LeftButtonDown
#PB_EventType_LeftButtonUp
#PB_EventType_LeftClick
#PB_EventType_RightClick
#PB_EventType_LeftDoubleClick
#PB_EventType_RightDoubleClick
#PB_EventType_Focus
#PB_EventType_LostFocus
Edit:
Added example code below.
Example (just like the CanvasGadget works):
Code: Select all
EnableExplicit
Procedure.i Example()
Protected click.i
If OpenWindow(0,0,0,320,200,#Null$,#PB_Window_SystemMenu|#PB_Window_WindowCentered)
If CanvasGadget(0,0,0,WindowWidth(0),WindowHeight(0))
Repeat
Repeat
Select WindowEvent()
Case #PB_Event_Gadget
Select EventType()
Case #PB_EventType_LeftButtonDown
click = #True
Case #PB_EventType_LeftButtonUp
click = #False
EndSelect
Case #PB_Event_None
Break
Case #PB_Event_CloseWindow
Break 2
EndSelect
ForEver
If StartDrawing(CanvasOutput(0))
Box(0,0,WindowWidth(0),WindowHeight(0),#Black)
DrawText(0,0,"MOUSE: " + Str(WindowMouseX(0)) + " x " + Str(WindowMouseY(0)))
DrawText(0,32,"LEFT MOUSE BUTTON DOWN: " + Str(click))
StopDrawing()
EndIf
ForEver
EndIf
CloseWindow(0)
EndIf
EndProcedure
End Example()

No, thats not the same.
Added example code to the first post, that shows what Mouse Events should be possible with just a Window !
(or WindowedScreen for that matter)

With Windows, not all mouse events that are on gadgets also arrive at the parent window.
With an active screen, the mouse events for windows and gadgets are completely excluded and are only processed by OpenGL or DirectX. This is why there is also the MouseRelease function ...

Graphical (windowed) applications can use Mouse Event messages.
The input does not need to processed by OpenGL or DX.
This enables the mouse to move freely around the Desktop and other Windows.
(My request is for Windows not Screens)

ReleaseMouse also enables the mouse to move freely everywhere. That's why I asked. You repeatedly say it doesn't work. But then why no bug report?
Btw. OpenGL has no input processing at all. Everything is done via events there.
I agree though the events would be nice for the window itself, just I think the reason why you want it might be wrong due to a bug that happens on your computer.

Why are we going back to screens - its completely irrelevant.
(Screen Keyboard & Mouse stuff is fine)
Its about Window Mouse Events!
