Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
I have a small knob for volume and I want to change its value by holding the mouse on it and moving it up and down.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
Easy API for capturing the mouse so that it doesn't move its position even when moving it in reality.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**
Move my mouse up and down 500 times.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating egui's existing mouse and pointer-input handling, then clarify the capture API and platform behavior; done should let a widget such as a volume knob track vertical movement without changing the cursor's position.
