In VLC, the DirectXEventThread create video windo and handle its message. I use VLC Activex in my VC application to play the viedo.I would like to intercept the mouse message to the directx window.
e.g) WM_LBUTTONDOWN, i would like to my appliction to handle the message not vlc

thanks

i only have a very very crazy solution! please don't laugh
you need to create a control 1x1px and fill it with overlay color (so it will be transparent), then make a timer, that will put 1x1px control directly under the mouse cursor and handle all mouse events on your 1x1px control
it realy works! contact me to see an example

For Windows i've simply added a PostMessage() for the needed Events in modules/video_output/directx/events.c to inform my ParentWindow.

For X11 i'm still looking for a Solution. Until now no Success with modules/video_output/x11/xcommon.c and adding a XSendEvent() because i dont know anything about this stuff...

Anybody who can help out with this?

Just put your Active X on a panel with Enabled property set to False
