That may be because I don't see any implemented callbacks in the engine for this function.

See guiControl.cpp
void GuiControl::onMouseMove(const GuiEvent &event)
{
   //if this control is a dead end, make sure the event stops here
   if ( !mVisible || !mAwake )
      return;

   //pass the event to the parent
   GuiControl *parent = getParent();
   if ( parent )
      parent->onMouseMove( event );
}

Further inspection to GuiTSCtrl leads a similar find, no callbacks.

You might want to start there, or implement an override call on this for your needs.

You got it Rob. I was looking for it myself for the RTS Prototype. Turns out that onMouseDragged() isn't exposed to the console either.
