Hello,
I have array of `Component`. I want to use all `Component` features, but I want to make all of them to not listen any mouse events. So I wonder if it’s ok to call in my `Component` constructor `removeMouseListener(this);`
Like that:
```auto
class MyComponent : public Component
{
public:
MyComponent() { removeMouseListener(this); };
};
```
I want to do that because I want to use only parent `Component` as a mouse listener. Of course I know I can call in `MyComponent::addMouseListener(&parentComponent);` And then I will get all mouse events from `MyComponent` in `ParentComponent`. But in that case `MyComponent` will also receive mouse events, but I don’t need them inside `MyComponent`, it’s only cause not needed calling `MyComponent::mouseEnter()`, `MyComponent::mouseDrag()`, etc.

You can get this effect by calling [setInterceptsMouseClicks (false, false)](https://docs.juce.com/master/classComponent.html#ac9fdcb595c1878201a641de2e1159aec). This will stop all mouse events (including mouseEnter and mouseExit) from being processed, which means they will be handled by the parent.

Great thanks. It works. Now I remember, I used it before, but forgot. Thanks for remind 🙂
