Feature Request: Entry responding to mouse events about fyne HOT 3 CLOSED

It sounds like you have already forked Fyne, as transparent / floating windows are not supported in our code.

To add functionality to Entry (or any widget) you do not have to fork the project, just extend the widget as in the documentation: https://docs.fyne.io/extend/extending-widgets

With those minor changes, I can then in userland extend the entry widget to watch for MouseIn and MouseOut events, and change the passthrough value accordingly.

The design of the Fyne API is not to expose events in this way - there would be an API explosion if every possible event was exposed on every widget. Instead extend as shown above and add your own event handling code.

Hey Andy, thanks for responding here so quickly!

My mistake - I didn't realise extending would allow me to do this and thought I had to put that functionality on the base widget.
