Thanks Terry,

I guess that means the saying "Trust but Verify" applies to the LR
A side observation. I put a line of code in the mouse enter and mouse exit events to change the cursor when in the static text region. That works fine. So I could set a "flag" true on mouse enter and False on mouse exit and then check that flag in the mouse up event, but I think I'll go with your if test.

Thanks Again
Lou

According to the Language Reference page on Static Text, the mouse up should not fire unless the button was released inside the statictext region. How far away from the static text do I have to get to be outside the statictext region?

The only two controls (AFAIK) that will actually do this automatically in their Action events are Pushbutton and BevelButton. Even though they all say something similar to "The mouse button was released inside the control's region at the location passed in to x,y.", they are all wrong. Even those two will respond outside their region if you put the code in their Mouse events.

Don't you just love the LR's consistency. :-P

Actually it should probably be worded: "The MouseDown event was pressed inside the controls region and Returned True. The location passed in to x,y is where the Mouse was released relative to the Top-Left edge of the control's region."; or something like that.

Fortunately there's a simple fix for the MouseUp event:

If x<0 or x>me.Width or y<0 or y>me.Height Then Return
