mouseleave

[sdfdsfa]

I am looking for a way to get the mouseleave/mouseout method for my activex control. When I test with ActiveX container tester mousemove can get the event when it is on the control. However, once the mouse is out of control, i don't get anything. Thank you for help Shin

You can use the TrackMouseEvent[^] API. It only works on Win98 or above, so if you need Win95 compatibility, you'll have to simulate MouseLeave using a timer: Start the timer when the mouse is first moved into the control. In the timerproc, use GetCursorPos to see if the cursor is outside of the window. If it is, fire a MouseLeave event, and stop the timer.

:-D Cool! I wish I'd known about that. The number of times I've used SetCapture() and tested the location of the mouse cursor... :omg:

Thanks for the helpfull post How to use this TrackMouseEvent? I have been looking for and they said I have to add #define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0400 this line. Still said TrackMouseEvent is not defined. So I added #include the result is the same....
