The VideoLAN Forums

I'm using windows xp sp 3, QT 4.7.0 and vlc 1.1.5 and i can't catch the mouse clic events over the video in a widget.

i have also tryed the libvlc_video_set_mouse_input( mp, false). That works fine in Linux, but not with Windows

Did i miss something?

anyone, any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

You might get better help from IRC channel.

Probably not implemented correctly on Win32

Catching mouse events over the video on Win32 is possible, but not an easy task. (both vlc1.1.5 and vlc1.2)

VLC actually manages the video window in its own thread (with its own message queue). Therefore, the QT4 thread won't receive these events.

The Win32 API provides "global hooks" to spy on another message queue, and get a copy of those events (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... 85%29.aspx). And it works very fine.

Perhaps QT4 offers some wrapper around these "global hooks" ?

Thanks for your time and answers =)
