Sure, but any object below it won't get them. I use that for GUI
objects that are essentially decorations on top of the active object.
In this case, the object below must answer mouse messages, but would
not receive them, as the decoration would be deemed to be the mouse
messages recipient by the GUI handler.

In a general case, I think it's bad to ignore all messages (bar the
MSG_DRAW one) for hidden objects. But it would probably break things
to change this, so I didn't.

They should get it. I do have disabled objects that are drawn.
Ah, I see that what I just said above is just more or less a repeat
of the quote above :) I'll leave it anyway.

Thanks for taking the time to revisit those old posts.
