mouse input only over perform window

General TouchDesigner Discussion

I’d like to map scroll wheel to a parameter in my network, but I only want it to be active while my mouse is over the perform window. (So my viz doesn’t fly around all over the place while I’m working on the network.)

Is there some way to determine what the active window is? If I could get that, then I could multiply my mouse input chop with a CHOP signifying that the perform window is currently selected/active.

If your perform window is displaying a panel (eg Container COMP) then you can access its panel state values such as inside, or rollover (using either expressions or a Panel CHOP) to determine when the mouse is over the container.
Hope that helps,
Rob.

gotcha, ill give that a shot. i can maybe create a transparent panel container that hides in the background and scales to the size of my render window

thanks!
