Is there a way to get signaled for mouse moved events when my app is not in
front? I've tried creating very high level, full screen clear windows. For
example, at the shielding level, screen saver level, etc. However, once I
click on the desktop, I stop getting mouse move events. I've tried
overriding methods like resignFirstResponder so that it always returns NO,
and overriding resignMainWindow, resignKeyWindow so that they doesn't do
anything (i.e. preventing the built in routines from being called). Doing
this has had no effect on the behavior of the window with regards to giving
me the mouse move events.
Do I need to inject my window into some other process (like some system
process?). (If so, any idea how?) Or possible write the window into some
kind of daemon that gets loaded at login time and then use IPC to signal my
app when a mouse move happens. Again, if so, how does one go about doing
that? Or would it be easier to try to get this information through IOKit?
Any ideas?
