Tracking mouse activity on view

[dasien]

Hello,

I am using v 1.16 and i have a question about tracking a mouse event. I have a timer that runs on the MainLoop that will lock the application if there is no mouse or keyboard activity after a certain amount of time. In my main view, i have overridden the OnKeyDown and OnMouseEvent methods, flipping a "keep alive" bit so that when the timer fires, it knows that there has been activity and not to lock the application.

The main view has just a few controls on it (treeview and listview).

I am able to catch the KeyDown events in my override, but i do not see any MouseEvents being thrown to that main view.

How can i also capture mouse movements, clicks, etc.? Do i need to implement those overrides on the sub-views as well?

You can subscribe to the Application.RootMouseEvent event to capture any mouse event.

Interestingly, i tried to just create event handlers rather than overriding the virtual methods above. I put event handlers in for KeyPress and MouseClick. I tried to attach these to both the TopLevel and then my main Window. Neither of these event handlers are ever fired for any keyboard press or mouse clicks on the SubViews of the Window.

The only thing that i can get consistently to fire is the override of KeyDown on the TopLevel.
