Why are there missing MouseLeave events with fast mouse movement?

I created my own toolbar from scratch using PictureBoxes. I use the
MouseEnter and MouseMove events to change the image on the PictureBox
controls so that it makes the "button" look selected, pressed, disabled
or unselected.

What I noticed however is that if I move the mouse quick enough from
one button to another or to some where other than the "toolbar", it is
possible that the MouseLeave event never gets fired which results in
the image not getting updated for my button.

Why am I missing events? It seems to me that the .NET Framework cannot
keep up with the speed of mouse movement and is liable to miss raising
these events.

How can I reliably make sure that when the mouse leaves a button, I
always get an event regardless how fast the mouse moves?

Thanks for your help

Does anyone know a good method of preventing keyboard and mouse events from interrupting processing? My situation is: 1) I need to track and handle all key and mouse events 2) I need to perform processing on certain key/mouse events 3) If key/mouse events interrupt processing, the events should not be discarded since they need to be handled but AFTER the current processing is complete

Using both MouseHover and MouseLeave events for a group of buttons within a CLI WinForm application, the MouseLeave event misfires although the mouse cursor has not moved on the screen, and is set right at the center of a particular button. Have tried to read the cursor position to verify it is bounded within the button proximity, the point coordinates indicating the cursor position varies erroneously when the event is generated (despite...

Hi, I have a panel on my form. I want to detect when the user enters my panel with his mouse and when he leaves my panel. If the user hovers a control inside my panel, I get the mouseleave, which is understandable.

Hi all, I have noticed that the picturebox object doesnt' fire correctly the mouseEnter mouseLeave events. The problem is seen ONLY when you show a form more than once. You can reproduce it easily: create a form, drop a picturebox, and handle the events mouseEnter, mouseLeave (of the picturebox), change the image for example. Then do something like this dim frm as new form1

I completely disagree with MS's decision to make you buy a whole new version of their product to get a fix to such a basic, glaring, long-standing bug. I deployed an entire ERP system written in DotNet in 2003, and having MouseLeave stop firing makes all the mouse-tracking controls in its UI look absolutely stupid, unprofessional. There is no workaround. Now they're telling me they're never going to fix it, that I have to buy Whidbey. It's...

In the following script, a control displays (black box) in each table cell once you mouse over the cell. Mouse down on the control to change the mode of the table. Drag the mouse over cells in the same column then mouseup anywhere in a cell. The mouseup event sometimres fires before the selection of table cells by dragging is complete. It's important that I stop these "false" mouseup's from firing or distinguish them from when I let go of...

I have an C# .NET 2.0 application which runs fine on XP, but on Vista (Home Basic), the MouseUp event does not fire until i move the mouse over another control/button in the application. The same thing happens for the MouseLeave events. They do not fire until the mouse enters a different control. This would seem to be a huge problem, but i did not see much online about it. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

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,...
