Re: [pygame] mouse outside window

[Jeremy Biddle <biddle@bu.edu>]

re zak's get_focus suggestion: unfortunately pygame.mouse.get_focus 
always returns true, whether the mouse is in or out, and whether the 
app is front or not, so that doesn't seem like it'll help.

is there any way inside pygame (i.e. not hacking the source or SDL) to 
determine whether the mouse is in the bounds of the window?  i could 
still use zak's suggestion of not sending events in this case.

thanks,
jeremy
