Issue with mouse move event

Question

I have a WPF control1 (has a moving control) that is hosted through elementhost on a windows form. My aim is to capture the mouse move events for the elementhost.

I found out from the following link that MouseMove fires when Control moves under mouse while mouse stands still.

I am getting fake mouse move events for elementhost. In order to fix this issue, I added a button on top of elementhost and set its Visible property to Hidden. Still I get fake mouse move events.. How to fix this issue? Is there any workaround?

Appreciate your help...

Answer 1

In your mousemove event, log down the values of e.X and e.Y, keeping your mouse stationary. If they're the same, the problem is solved.
