How to get mouse input from extended frame?

Luiz Henrique Laurini · 2015-07-21T02:20:49

I have a window which has a extended frame. It looks like this: I've followed all steps in MSDN's guide for extended frames: Custom Window Frame Using DWM. But the problem is: I can't capture mouse movement over the extended frame. I don't receive the WM_MOUSEMOVE message, and WM_NCMOUSEMOVE is only received on the resize area and on the top part of the extended frame, which is not what I need. I've already tried SetCapture but it doesn't allows me to minimize, maximize, close, move nor resize the window, not to mention that it shows the "Working..." cursor. Does someone knows how to solve this?

Heh, yeah, gotta read ALL the dusty corners.

MSDN is far better then most of the competitors (I'm looking at you Apple and Google) but you do have to learn its quirks...

Thanks for posting your fix

Good to know. Thanks for telling us.

Yeah, MSDN doesn't always do a great job of telling you everything you need to know about something unless you really dig around. It's a little better than it used to be, though.

void hurrrrrrrr() {__asm sub [ebp+4],5;}

There are ten kinds of people in this world: those who understand binary and those who don't.
