Receiving messages

virtual bool OnFilter(GlowMouseData& message) = 0

This is a pure virtual method that must be overridden by a subclass. It is called whenever a mouse event needs to be filtered. You may handle the event in any way, and may also modify the event by modifying the parameters in the passed data structure. Return true if the event needs to continue to be handled normally; otherwise, return false to consume the event.
