No, because if you click in the non client area of a window, the latter will get
a WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN message instead of WM_LBUTTONDOWN etc. And the library
currently doesn't care about these non client mouse messages. You can always trap
WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN (registering the handler using setWinMsgHandler()) and fire the
w32HGotFocus event from there, if you wish.
