1. [Win] Knowing when mouse leaves window?
I've got a problem with a program in which I have a non-full screen window.
I need to know when the mouse leaves my window and goes onto the desktop.
Specifically, I need to know when the mouse event is LeftUp on the desktop.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Judith Evans

Use captureMouse. From win32lib.htm:
captureMouse( window )
Send all mouse events to window.
Category: Mouse
To release the mouse, use releaseMouse.
Example:
-- grab the mouse for TheWindow
captureMouse( TheWindow )
releaseMouse()
Return control of the mouse to Windows.
Category: Mouse
This is called after captureMouse to put control of the mouse back to
normal.
Example:
-- release the mouse.
releaseMouse()

Thanks, Matt
I had tried captureMouse once before without any luck but this time it does
the trick.
