Hello,
I am trying to allow a user to define a region of their screen (in any
application) for a screenshot. So far I've been unable to capture any mouse
event that occurs outside of the visible region of my shell. I've tried
attaching a listener to the display but it still doesn't receive any events
outside of the application window.
Is there some simple way to add a listener at a lower level? I want to be
notified of all OS mouse events, so I can determine when a user has defined
a rectangle region with a click and drag.
I considered a glass pane that is always on top, but I presume that will not
allow users to use the underlying os (ie switch to another application
before defining a region).
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Kyle Himmerick
