I am "dragging" an image by setting its location to the mouseloc as long
as the mouse is down. I want a custom cursor while this operation is
going on. I use a "send to handler" contruct to check whether the mouse
has been released or not. I also have a mouseMove handler that checks
the mousecontrol and sets the cursor depending on what object the mouse
is over.
While the image is moving under the mouse pointer (and the mouse is
down,) MC never considers it to be the mousecontrol. Instead, the
mousecontrol is considered to be whatever current object the mouse and
the image are passing over. This means the cursor changes to the cursor
type I've set up for the underlying objects, which isn't what I want.
Why isn't the moving image directly under the pointer considered the
mousecontrol? The image is large enough that the mouse is never outside
it, even while it is being dragged.
On the other hand, when the mouse is let up and the image is "dropped",
I hide the image that was moving and then check the mousecontrol to see
what is under it so that I can set the cursor appropriately for that
object. The mousecontrol now always returns the original moving image
(now hidden,) not whatever is currently under the pointer.
There must be something more to the "mousecontrol" function that isn't
documented, because it does not seem to be registering what is under the
mouse. What am I missing?
