Mouse and Joystick eventhandlers outside of a control

[sakura_chan 9]

How can I add an eventhandler to the mouse outside of the map or a rsc? Just like during regular play when you click the mouse button or press a joystick button? I don't need the position or anything fancy, just a straight forward return of which button was pressed.

add to the main display

waitUntil {sleep 0.01; (!(isNull (findDisplay 46)))};
(findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["MouseDown","_this call TAG_fnc_something"];

Doesn't fire for mouse or joystick commands. Anyways I found a way around it without using the mouse buttons.

didn't see the edit.

Mouse works for me. You only cannot intercept, aka stop, mouse input like you can with keyboard input.
