[vlc-devel] Getting onmousemove messages from the VLC plugin

[Ben Dean-Kawamura]

Hi all, I'm developing a program that uses the VLC mozilla plugin to
play videos, however I've run into a bit of a snag.  I'd like to
receive mouse move events in the browser window when the mouse is over
the VLC plugin, however it doesn't work with the stock vlc 0.8.5.

The simplest way that I can think of is propagate the events to the
parent window that mozilla controls.  I made a naive hack that seems
to work, but probably has unintended side effects.  Can anyone see
problems with the below patch?  Is there a better way to do things?

The program in question is Democracy Player (www.getdemocracy.com).

Thanks in advance,
Ben
