Description

Call SetCaptureControl to allow a control to capture the mouse. When the control has the mouse captured, it receives all mouse messages until another control captures the mouse.

SetCaptureControl is equivalent to SetMouseGrabControl.

Note: Many controls capture the mouse in response to mouse events. Application code should avoid explicitly capturing the mouse.
