--- Comment #3 from Gideon gideon.wine@gmail.com 2008-02-28 12:26:18 --- The problem is that currently mouse_event() button "clicks" only work inside wine.
I'm using a stylus type device that communicates directly with a window's app. The windows app uses mouse_event(). Without the patch, I can move the mouse pointer anywhere on the screen, but clicking or dragging only work inside wine. With the patch, clicking and dragging work also outside of wine (i.e. I can click native Linux items like desktop icons and menu items, or select text and graphics in native applications).
