[DUG] Touch screen without focus

[Ross Levis]

I believe OnMouseMove is relevant to the window that has the focus so I
don't see that working.  I could detect a global mouse move by analysing
Windows messages.  But whether that could focus the window before the
automatic focusing occurs, I'm not sure.

I don't have Delphi at the moment to try it, but can you use OnMouseMove or
similar to focus the window at current mouse position?

with a mouse.
