Create a fully transparent WPF window to capture mouse events

Question

I\'m trying to trap mouse events in WPF by using a topmost, transparent non-modal window. I\'m finding that this works fine if the opacity of the window is 0.01 or greater

Answer 1

You might find it simpler to use Mouse.Capture.

When an object captures the mouse, all mouse related events are treated as if the object with mouse capture perform the event, even if the mouse pointer is over another object.
