If set to true, the window recieves an OnGUI call whenever the mouse is moved over the window.

Note: This function does not trigger Repaint() Automatically.


Editor Window that detects mouse moves when the toggle button is activated and the mouse is over the window.

// Editor Script that shows how mouse movement events
// get caught in the Editor window

class WantsMouseMoveEx extends EditorWindow {
    @MenuItem("Example/wantsMouseMove example")
    static function InitWindow() {
        var window : WantsMouseMoveEx = GetWindowWithRect(WantsMouseMoveEx, Rect(0, 0, 300, 300));
    }

    function OnGUI() {
        wantsMouseMove = EditorGUILayout.Toggle ("Receive Movement: ", wantsMouseMove);
        EditorGUILayout.LabelField ("Mouse Position: ", Event.current.mousePosition.ToString ());

        // Repaint the window as wantsMouseMove doesnt trigger a repaint automatically
        if (Event.current.type == EventType.MouseMove)
            Repaint ();
    }
}
