This is in windows 10 , I have two custom components in my view. Any time the mouse hovers above these components I want them to respond to `mouseWheelMove`. Which happens except the user has to click at least once on these components before `mouseWheelMove` takes effect. How do I make it so that the user does not have to click on the components to activate `mouseWheelMove`?

What do you mean by “custom components”? Certainly all juce components will get mousewheel events without needing to be focused.

Sorry I think this is actually a problem on my end. My GL camera is not being initialized properly until the first mouseDown. By custom I just meant a subclass of Component
