code doesnt go into mouseMove

[ns]

Very puzzling: I am trying to debug this (its tricky to get the mouse right over the editbox ). It doesnt go into the mouseMove. But if I position the cursor over the part of the parent dilaog which is uncovered by controls, it goes into mouseMove but then of course I'm not in the rect. It looks like the richEdit is obscuring the mouseMove somehow....

void CImageDisplay::OnMouseMove(UINT nFlags, CPoint point)
{
// TODO: Add your message handler code here and/or call default
// Get the dimensions of the static control
CRect rect;
m_richEdit.GetWindowRect(rect);
ScreenToClient(rect);

// If the mouse is over the control, display the titletip. 
// Note: The title tip will only be displayed if the text
// in the static control is too large for the static control
if (rect.PtInRect(point))
{
	CString str;
	m\_richEdit.GetWindowText(str);
	m\_titleTip.Show(rect, str, 0, -1);
}

CDialog::OnMouseMove(nFlags, point);

}

Many thanks,ns

Ummm... I'd say you've got to subclass the RichEdit control and add the OnMouseMove there. Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo

That worked great! I read the MAunder subclass article. Did get puzzled about one thing though............the richeditctrl had no ownerdraw property to check. ALso I didnt use SubclassDlgItem or subClassWindow() at all......just changed CRichEDitCtrl to myCRichEditCTrl in the h file. I cant see when one would ever need to use SubClassWindow() etc ...? Its the subclassdemo.asp in /miscctrl. Thanks, ns ALso --- to subclass the e ditctrl portion of the combobox, how would we get the nID? The entire combobox has an id, but what about just the editctrl part... Thanks for all the help!

Well, the appwizard is doing the subclassing for you. You'd need to it by hand if, for instance, the control you're subclassing is not known to the wizard, or if you don't add a member variable attached to the control. As for your other question, seems (after googling around), that you can get hold of the edit control handle by calling GetWindow(hWndCombo, GW_CHILD), hWndCombo being the handle of the entire combobox (didn't try it myself.) After getting the handle, you can proceed with manual subcassing. Good luck. Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo
