MOUSECAPTURED property (System)

Description

Retrieves the ID of the Presentation Server GUI object that is capturing the mouse input (if any), along with the window handle (HWND) of the object.

This property is an @fm-delimited array containing the mouse capture information:

<1> The fully qualified name of a PS object capturing the mouse, or null if the mouse is not captured by a PS object.
