For those interested, I've seen quite a few requests for this behavior. Although I haven't tried the below, it should work; no guarantees, however. The strategy here is to install a system-wide HK_INPUT hook which follows the WM_MOUSEMOVE messages. You can easily call WinWindowFromPoint() to obtain the window handle under the mouse, follow the parent chain until you reach the top-level window, and call WinSetFocus() to give it the focus. Anyone want to give it a try? If so, please post any changes to the above here and place the source on ftp-os2.nmsu.edu. Thanks.
