I wish to have a small form be mainly transparent and less transparent when the mouse moves over it. The form onMouseEnter and onMouseLeave are almost perfect, except that moving the mouse to any components on the form also fires the onMouseLeave event, and the border/title bar also is not counted as part of the form either.
Question - Is there any way to detect the mouse is anywhere within the form without having to put mouse events on all components or doing a continuous monitoring of the mouse position? The best solution I have so far is to reduce the transparency of the form on MouseEnter, and leave it so for a few seconds before making it more transparent again after a few seconds...but its not ideal as this can happen if the mouse is still within the form. (One reason I don't want to put events into the components is that one of them a colorbutton already has a mouseover event to change color) John _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list [email protected] http://ns3.123.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi
