Mac OS X: Handling mouse events

[Kevin Ollivier]

Hi all,

I've been working on developing a Mozilla control for the wxWindows programming library. I have the control functioning on MSW and GTK, but on OS X (using MachO/Carbon) it's not catching any mouse events. I've been trying to model my code after the PowerPlant example, and have been able to successfully create and dispatch EventRecords to Mozilla for update and activate events, but I can't get the same results for mouse events. I'm using a recent CVS tree, between 1-2 weeks old at this point.

Since I'm working with wxWindows events, I do not have direct access to the original EventRecord, so I have to create one as I have successfully done with the update and activate events. (These also are based on the PowerPlant example.) I've created mouseDown events and passed into the where parameter a Point containing the x and y values given by wxWindows (and also given by Carbon's GetMouse function), but in all cases the event is not handled by Mozilla. Am I missing any important values, or is there something special needed to be done to turn mouse event handling on? I was unable to find anything in the PowerPlant example. The mouse events in the PowerPlant example seem to simply forward the EventRecord into Mozilla and let it handle it.

Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions!
