Directly activate Hotspot when key is pressed without moving the mouse?

[Charly Dante]

Hi there,

I have a question about hotspots. I would like to use them like in
QTCreator, where I can jump to the declaration of a function by holding
CTRL and then clicking on the function.

For this I use subclassing and everything works fine. However, if I hold
down CTRL, I first have to move the mouse to activate a hotspot, even if
the mouse is already over a valid hotspot location.

Is there a way to directly trigger the hotspot change programatically
without the need of moving the mouse first (same for deactivation)? That
would make the hotspot behave more convenient and intuitive.

Best Regards,
CD

Never mind, found a solution. Sending a WM_MOUSEMOVE manually does the
trick ;)
