RE: [GD-Windows] Out of window mouse up messages

[Brian S. <bs...@mi...>]

WM_MOUSEMOVE tells you which buttons are pressed.  If you get one with a
button up when your isDragging flag is set, you know someone released
outside your window, so you can just execute your EndDrag() function (or
CancelDrag(), or whatever).
