Mousemove, handles, control problem

[willem]

Hi,
I want
1) To create a method (event) that gives me Handle of Control under Mouse
(tipically controls in a form).
2) To have Control with that handle.

my problem is to make a method that send continually an information about
the control under mouse
for change colors (like Toolbar in IE6 for example) and other things.
(I don't want use OnMouseMove for each control)

thanks
willem

Hi willem,

It might be that you want to use the MouseEnter and MouseLeave events
instead. You can use the same event for all controls as you can
distinguish them from the sender object passed as a parameter.

Happy coding!

Take a look at IMessageFilter -- you can create one that gives the current
control under the cursor as a property or event (when it changes)... or
whatever.

For a quick example, see:

Just the part about IMessagefilter, or the sample code may be of some help
to you.
