But when I run it wo actually checking the event, the whole IDE locks
up and no events are picked up from other applications. I'm aware of
that this is not a JNA question but I'm stuck (and desperate). Am I
doing something wrong? I want to pick up all mouse and key events from
all applications. How should I do this?
I found this from you:
--------------
I think the standard way to track *all* input events under X is to
create an Input-only window that covers the root window. I don't
think the various subwindows are going to be very happy to have their
input masks changed out from under them (security restrictions
against this may be what's causing the error you see).
------------------
Am I doing this?
When in doubt, write the program and test it in C first. Make sure
you do XSelectInput for the events of interest. You might see if you
can locate an X11 usenet FAQ, which might have an answer to tracking
events globally.
The original poster was changing the event mask for every window;
that's something you have to do explicitly via XSelectInput, so I
doubt you're doing that.
I think you can probably just listen to events on the root window and
all its descendants, rather than creating an InputOnly window.
