Klaus, before this goes back to the vault, Hermann said:

mouseEvents don't reach the widget, they are all captured by the widget.

Is that true? If so, why, and if so again, can you pass such a message explicitly, say to the card? That would put it back in play for LCS.

If the author of the widget did nor implement mouseecvents (mouseup/mousedown etc.) then this is true.
I "feature requested" that at least a MOUSEUP is implemented in new widget a long time ago.

If that is the case you can use SEND or DISPATCH to deliver a message to the card or stack, if that is what you mean.

Klaus.

It is what I meant. I would naturally have gone into the mouseUp handler and added a line at the end to send that message to the card.
