Hi Xperts,
Can anyone help me how to grab all key events and send
them to a single window. Also when i do any mouse operations
it should take only those operations done on that window.
Like say i opened a dialog box. Until i close the window the focus
shouldn't go to any other window. Any key i press should be directed
to the dialog
I tried something and i have attached. but the window couldn't
get the key and mouse input
Can somebody give me clear picture!
Thanks,
Jeyasudha.
