What Windows message is fired for mouse-up with modifier keys?
- by Greg
My WndProc isn't seeing mouse-up notifications when I click with a modifier key (shift or control) pressed. I see them without the modifier key, and I see mouse-down notifications with the modifier keys.
I'm using the Windows Forms NativeWindow wrapper to get Windows messages from the WndProc() method.
I've tried tracking the notifications I do get, and I the only clue I see is WM_CAPTURECHANGED. I've tried calling SetCapture when I receive the WM_LBUTTONDOWN message, but it doesn't help.
Without modifier (skipping paint, timer and NCHITTEST messages):
WM_LBUTTONDOWN
WM_SETCURSOR
WM_MOUSEMOVE
WM_SETCURSOR
WM_LBUTTONUP
With modifier (skipping paint, timer and NCHITTEST messages):
WM_KEYDOWN
WM_PARENTNOTIFY
WM_MOUSEACTIVATE
WM_MOUSEACTIVATE
WM_SETCURSOR
WM_LBUTTONDOWN
WM_SETCURSOR (repeats)
WM_KEYDOWN (repeats)
WM_KEYUP
If I hold the mouse button down for a long time, I can usually get a WM_LBUTTONUP notification, but it should be possible to make it more responsive..
What am I missing?
Thanks.
