Hi everybody,
I have a multi-form application and need to know programatically which
form the mouse pointer is in at a given moment. I tried to use some
XFORMS lib routines, but with no success. My platform is Solaris 2.5,
XForms 0.86, 0.88.
1. fl_get_form_mouse() returns window ID of the form which is given as the
first argument, EVEN IF the mouse is not in that form ;-((
2. fl_get_mouse() returns window ID which reflects the true position of
the mouse, BUT it is NOT the ID which is stored in FL_FORM structure
"window" parameter (and which is used/returned by fl_get_form_mouse()).
Instead, it gives the window ID which "xwininfo -children" utility
reports as the "parent" window of the forms' window. I could not find
any way to translate that "parent" ID to "forms" window ID, so I am
still unable to identify the form the window is in. "fl_win_to_form()"
invoked on the ID returned by "fl_get_mouse()" always gives NULL.
Any hints would be much appreciated. For future releases, I would vote
for a FL_FORMS' equivalent of FL_OBJECT's "belowmouse" flag. I guess
that XForms event dispatcher processes FL_ENTER/LEAVE events for each
form, anyway, so it should be easy to implement.
best regards,
Michal.
