how to capture mouse button down/up

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I have an SDI application that uses docking panes.  My CMainFrame
class is derived from CXTPFrameWnd.  What I'm trying to do is
implement click-and-drag screen capture into my application so the user
can capture any part of my application to a JPG file.  I'm able to
install a keyboard hook, and my hook procedure is called when the user
hits the hotkey, but I don't receive WM_LBUTTONDOWN or UP messages in
my CMainFrame class.

Is the Docking Pane class intercepting all mouse messages for dragging of panes?

	WM_LBUTTONDOWN receves only window under cursor. In SDI application it must be CView in CMainFrame try to catch it there.
