If it's on a datawindow would this help?  GetObjectAtPointer - - DataWindow Reference (appeon.com)

Hi, Robert -

The Windows API function TrackMouseEvent can be used to do this. Earlier this week I suggested to another Community member that had a similar request to yours that they download and examine the DWGridXP free code sample application from Roland Smith's TopWizProgramming web site. One of the feature of this app is it highlights the column header on a grid DataWindow when the mouse is over the column header.

Here is the URL:

Hi.

You can calculate when the mouse goes out of picturebutton object in pbm_mousmouve. The code should be something like that:

if x > 20 and y > 20 and xpos <= this.width - 20 and ypos <= this.height - 20 then
	picturename = ".\ok.png"
else
	picturename = ".\error.png"
end if

You need to set a threshold (20 in this example), because if you move the mouse pretty fast the event won't fire when "leaving" the picturebutton region. So this isn't perfect!

Hi Robert;

  FWIW: This is what I do to sense the mouse over an object. The example below is from my STD Framework. You can easily do this by adding a User Event to any visual control where you wish to monitor mouse activity. The implemenation is just map the UE to the O/S's "HitTest" message ID by using PB's "pbm_nchottest" event ID. Then any code you add to this UE will be when the mouse is active over the object, as follows:

Much simpler to use and more future proof.  Food for thought. HTH
