My Issue/Question:
Hello there. Some windows instead of sending typical mouse input messages that ImGui expects (MS docs reference), send pointer event messages (MS docs reference). Therefore mouse input does not get processed with ImGui_ImplWin32_WndProcHandler. On my end I am using a hacky fix in which I substitute pointer events with mouse input messages that ImGui expects. For example:
LRESULT __stdcall WndProc(const HWND hWnd, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) {
// ...
switch(uMsg)
{
case WM_POINTERDOWN:
uMsg = WM_LBUTTONDOWN;
break;
case WM_POINTERUP:
uMsg = WM_LBUTTONUP;
break;
case WM_POINTERWHEEL:
uMsg = WM_MOUSEWHEEL;
break;
case WM_POINTERUPDATE:
uMsg = WM_SETCURSOR;
break;
}
ImGui_ImplWin32_WndProcHandler(hWnd, uMsg, wParam, lParam);
// ...
}I was wondering if there are any plans to support such pointer event messages in the future? Or does it already exist and I've just missed it?
