How to completely prevent captured mouse from getting grabbed by others?

[Buddhist.CHinA]

If one control has already captured the mouse, how to completely
prevent the mouse from getting captured by any other controls
(objects), even if a dialog popups, for example.
thx.

A window that has captured the mouse should only do so for a short time,
usually between one mousedown and the next mouseup event.

If you're trying to capture for longer than this then you're probably doing
something wrong.

Why do you need to do this?

If it's for some sort of kiosk program then you should consider using your
own custom shell.

Yep, basically a mouse capture should only happen between one
mousedown and the next mouseup event. But my problem was that the
capture owner got changed just after mouse down event. That's why I
had to grab mouse back, manually.
I also posted another one with more details at,
