Mouse move event question.

8 New Member
I know the control tip text will display information about a text box. However I was wondering if there is a way to change it based on the value of the text box. Is it possible to create a mouse move event that will do the same thing?

i.e. value of txtStatus

If [txtStatus] = A then "good"
If [txtStatus] = B then "bad"

something to that effect. I don't really know if it is possible or how to code it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Patrick

If I understand your question, this should do the job:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Private Sub txtStatus_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
  2.  If Me.txtStatus = "a" Then txtStatus.ControlTipText = "Good"
  3.  If Me.txtStatus = "b" Then txtStatus.ControlTipText = "Bad"
  4.  If Me.txtStatus <> "a" And Me.txtStatus <> "b" Then txtStatus.ControlTipText = ""
  5. End Sub

I am using VB 6.0 Working Model (the one with no help files). I have a form. On a portion of the form I have a Picture Box. On the PicBox I want to draw something to follow the mouse. I can detect the mouse position as it is moved. If it moves a certain distance I want to erase the PicBox and draw something at a new position. I can do this successfully. My problem comes when I move the mouse outside of the PicBox. I want to detect this and...

I have set onmousedown to change the cursor, but this setting is ignored (IE 5.5; NN 6.1 on Win 2K Pro) until the mouse is either moved or the mouse button is released. On Opera 7.01, the setting seems to be ignored completely, even when I try with window.setTimeout. So my two questions are: (1) Most important: Is there anything I can do so that I don't have to wait for the next mouse event before the cursor gets repainted. (2) Why...

Hi, I have an MDI app that allows user to create flowcharts. User can drag flowchart objects (squares, rectangles, elipses, etc) from the toolbar and put on a form. They should be able to move the objects around on the form. This is where the problem is, I have implemented this using the mouse_down, mouse_up and mouse_move events of the form. When user selects a object, I receive the

I need to be able to move a Panel on a windows Form at run time using the mouse. I have tried adding a MouseDown event handler to the Panel and then within the MouseDown handler adding a MouseMove event to the Panel and then setting the Panel's Location to a new Point(x, y) with x and y set to the mouse's x and y, but this does not work because the MouseDown event of Panel only sends the cords of the mouse within that Panel. I need to be...

Hey guys, I have 2 events on a windows forms datagrid, the mouse move as well as the double click events. What's happening is that when I double click on a row in the grid, the mouse move event gets triggered and the double click is not identified at all. Is there any way I can invoke the double click when the mouse move also exists?

It's an interesting question, as I see it. I have a form, in which there are a few command buttons, which change color when the mouse is on top of them (On Mouse Move). Now, I want the color to be changed back to normal when the mouse moves away from the command's button area. The only way I have figured up untill now how of to do it, is having a big text box around the command buttons area, which is sent to back, and to have On Mouse Move...

I made a game with a window form that needs to record the mouse position to an array at 100 samples per second, so I use the mouse move event to do the job. The problem is the mouse move event is raised by my software at max 30 times per second. I have determined I should use a timer event on every 10 msec to raise the mouse event, but then I need the same mouse event that is sent to the mouse move function in the mouse move event how...

Hi, How can I define in Firefox whether the left mouse button is pressed when I move mouse over a html element? The documentation says that "e.button == 0 for standard 'click', usually left button" http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/DOM:event.button Tracing of mouse clicks or mousedown/mouseup events looks not reliable, because mouse can be pressed elsewhere out of the html element (even outside of the browser) and then move over the...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
