Hi Steven,

There's nothing wrong with the current state of the plugin, what I wanted to 
add doesn't even make much sense in the context of Qt integration alone.
I simply wanted to add a mouse hook and also have some custom code to check 
some user preferences for a custom plugin I'm working on which should use that 
mouse hook.
That, and the outlook of have it all running in Python and abandoning compiling 
and dependencies on additional libs and tools (Qt sources, cmake) was my 
motivation. I also keep hearing people asking for a working Linux version. What 
would be needed in order to get this code working under linux?

Of course, that's all functionality Softimage should've been providing out of 
the box for some years now imho, but things are as they are, aren't they?

this is one of the reasons why eric at blur skipped using pyhook. he ended
up using QWinMigrate, which was a class that allowed MFC apps slowly
migrate their app to Qt. he and matt newell exposed QWinMigrate to python
the same way PyQt was exposed/wrapped through sip. once that happened the
only cpp left was on the softimage side which just exposed getting the
window handle to a scripting language. in fact softimage devs could
probably have done the same.

i am a bit confused as to what stefan needs to change the source for, the
idea of sharing the plugin is that 90% of people would not need to change
the source and they could get all the functionality of Qt through python
and thats a lot of power already!

@stefan, what are you trying to change and why? is it an improvement or
just a preference?

 I didn't follow the thread but if this is running
in XSI, the hook will affect the whole of XSI.
