I am using my own GUI system and I still have this little hickup, whenever the mouse moves outside the window when clicked (dragging a slider for example), the mouseup is not registered, as it happens outside the window.
In Windows you normally just call CaptureMouse/ReleaseMouse on a MouseDown/Up … how is the best way to solve this in MonoGame?
Must not be cross-platform for me. user32.dll the only way?
Check if mouse is outside the window. If so, release.
That’s not resulting in a desired behaviour
What I did now, is making my on “Capture Mouse” Flag for each control - MouseState will trigger globally anyway and I just save which control had the mouse down received - so whenever a mouse up is registered (globally) it’s dispatched to the control which “captured” the mouse down before (if there is any).
I believe this should be fixed with this PR: [DesktopGL] Improve mouse handling outside gamewindow by harry-cpp · Pull Request #7440 · MonoGame/MonoGame · GitHub
It should be part of the MonoGame 3.8.1.* release.
I originally reported this issue here: DesktopGL: Mouse state has inconsistencies when mouse leaves the window while a mouse button is pressed · Issue #7434 · MonoGame/MonoGame · GitHub
