CWnd and CStatic Based Windows, How to detect mouse leaving the w

[Eitan]

Hello,

I am creating a new window class based on CWnd. I am placing it on the View
(CFormView). How can I get the notification or any other indication that
the cursor/mouse is not on this window?

I also tried the same to create a new window based on CStatic but I was not
able to detect when the mouse leaves the window.

Regards,
Eitan

Have you tried TrackMouseEvent?

Mouse messages are sent to the parent for CStatic windows. You can
override WM_NCHITTEST and return HTCLIENT. But AFAIK it is enough to set
the style SS_NOTIFY.

You can use TrackMouseEvent to get a message when the cursor leaves the
window.

Also you can get the current position of the cursor and you can compare
it with your window rect.
