RE: [GD-Windows] Detecting mouse exiting window?

[Nicolas R. <nic...@fr...>]

I guess the idea is:

1. To capture the mouse on first WM_MOUSEMOVE received by window (mouse enters)
2. To get each single mouse move message afterward.. Test if its outside of window..
    If inside => 2
    If outside => 3
3. Release mouse capture => 1

If your app captures the mouse all the time, it makes it pretty hard for
the user to click on other windows...

Capturing the mouse seems most useful for processing things like custom
buttons and drag-and-drop behaviors, where you need to get mouse down
messages and mouse up messages in pairs.  When they mouse down, you
capture the mouse; when they mouse up, you release it.
