[comp.windows.ms.programmer] "button" class tracking cursor after leaving window???? how???

kilmer@hq.af.mil (03/05/91)

Does anyone know how the "button" class tracks the mouse movement when 
someone presses the left mouse button, then leaves the button window, the
proc. that handles the button class is able to track the mouse moving
all over the screen, until the user releases the mouse button.

Does the proc. issue some type of hook or something??? 


Thanks for your time,

Richard

Try SetCapture() and ReleaseCapture().
