Event not raised for Panel

[kulabhishek]

Hi!

I have a created an extended control that inherits from the Panel class. This functions like an editing pane and allows the user to drag and add controls over it.

When I drag the child control toward one of the borders of the panel, the control is restricted to stay within the bounds of the parent panel but the mouse cursor moves out. I want to be able to change the cursor while i am dragging a child control (hence mouse button is down and the active control is the child control) and the mouse moves outside the bounds of the parent. Also, I need to be able to rechange the cursor when the mouse re-enters the panel.

The cursor can be changed in the MouseEnter and MouseLeave events of the parent Panel. But I find that these events dont get fired while I am dragging the child control is active at the moment.

Does anyone have any idea how I can accomplish this?
Is it possible to raise these events for the panel explicitly?

Regards,
Abhishek

What about DragEnter and DragLeave events?

Also, if you are inheriting from a control, you might rather override OnDragEnter and OnDragLeave, instead of subscribing to your own base class events.

Hi Vekipeki,

The control does not actually move out of the Panel. They only move within the bounds of the Panel. Its only the cursor that moves out. So these events do not occur and hence don't get fired.

I have checked with few other events too. I found that no events on the Panel get fired as the active control is the child control that is being moved.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
