GeUserArea - RemoveLastCursorInfo not compatible with ActivateFading

C4DS

Hi,
A few years ago I created this topic:
https://plugincafe.maxon.net/topic/9969/13422_detect-leaving-userarea
related to detecting the mouse leaving a GeUserArea. Andreas brought up the perfect solution of using RemoveLastCursorInfo and a callback.
I have been using this solution ever since.

However, recently I have been looking into the ActivateFading and have discovered that while both functions work correctly on their own, as soon as you use both the RemoveLastCursorInfo's callback is never called.

I do have a workaround for detecting leaving the userarea, using the BFM_FADE as described in the linked topic, but as mentioned it isn't without flaws.
With that said, I just wanted to bring up the issue / limitation regarding using ActivateFading and RemoveLastCursorInfo together.

hi,

ActivateFading is also using RemoveLastCursorInfo internally.
The last to be called should win.

ActivateFading is also using RemoveLastCursorInfo internally.

I more or less assumed this was the case.
As such I went with an alternative solution using RemoveLastCursorInfo to be able to detect the mouse leaving the GeUserArea, while providing an own implementation for fading in and out.

Thanks for confirming.
