handle_mouse(event)

Handles mouse events.

This, like all mouse handlers should, calls super()'s implementation first, to allow usage of on_{event}-type callbacks. After that, it tries to find a target widget within itself to handle the event.

Each handler will return a boolean. This boolean is then used to figure out whether the targeted widget should be "sticky", i.e. a slider. Returning True will set that widget as the current mouse target, and all mouse events will be sent to it as long as it returns True.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
event MouseEvent

The event to handle.

required

Returns:

Type Description
bool

Whether the parent of this widget should treat it as one to "stick" events

bool

to, e.g. to keep sending mouse events to it. One can "unstick" a widget by

bool

returning False in the handler.
