Hi,

I would like to detect if the mouse pointer is over a specified control.
Is this possible, and if so, which functions should I use (I guess it has to do with the Windows API?)?

Thanks in advance.

You will need to monitor the window messages other then that there isn't a way.

Okay, that'll do it. Thanks

Well, I guess I was wrong about the 1st sentence of this post..

I've inserted a "OnWindowidEvent_MessageNotification", yet nothing shows up in the debugger..

My code:

code:

---

function OnEvent_Initialize(MessengerStart) {
      WndMain = MsgPlus.CreateWnd("Windows.xml","WndMain",1);
}

function OnWndMainEvent_MessageNotification(PlusWnd,wMessage,wParam,lParam) {
      Debug.Trace("> Got message \"" + wMessage + "\" with wParam \"" + wParam + "\" and lParam \"" + lParam + "\"");
}

---

The problem with this:

}

function OnWndMainEvent_MessageNotification(PlusWnd,wMessage,wParam,lParam) {
    switch(nMessage){
        case 0x200 /* WM_MOUSEMOVE */:
            // do stuff here
            break;
    }
}

Hi,

Thanks for the advice

Actually my piece of code was more to see if my window would receive any messages at all (it appeared not to receive them, because I did not register them..).

And about the \:

The debugger would say something like this:

code:

---

> Function called: OnWndMainEvent_MessageNotification
> Got message "78" with wParam "10119" and lParam "456204"

The \" means that the text to show in the debugger hasn't ended yet, but does contain a quotation mark ( " ).
