But, Jonathan, why do you need to find out if you're obscured or not?



It's for CoverFlow (www.steelskies.com/coverflow). The display moves subtly in response to the mouse, which is causing problems while the window is in the background. Two options :

1) Don't react to mouse movement while CoverFlow is inactive. Because the window is usually in perpetual motion, this is actually pretty confusing to the user - as soon as the app goes inactive, it appears as though it has hung.
2) React to mouse movement while CoverFlow is inactive. If another window is partially obscuring CoverFlow, then the covers move around in response to mouse movements within the topmost window. This is kinda distracting.


So, what I actually want is to be able to react to mouse movements while the mouse is over a visible portion of the window, regardless whether the app is active or not.


Jon
