Ignoring mouse event from contained controls

Hello!

I have a UserControl that have two other controls inside it. I need to set a
different border color for my UserControl when the mouse enters it, and
restore the border color when the mouse leaves it.

The problem is, when the mouse passes in a contained control, the
UserControl raises a MouseLeave and the border is restored back, although
the mouse, for the customer, is yet inside the UserControl.

It's possible I do the UserControl ignores all mouse events for his
contained controls? Or there is another approach?

Add the child control to your handles as well.

For instance if you have a panel named Panel1 with a label named Label1
contained in it you can use:
Private Sub Panel1_MouseEnt er(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles Panel1.MouseEnt er, _

Label1.MouseEnt er

Panel1.BackColo r = Color.Black

End Sub
Then do the same thing for the mouseleave event

Yeah, I did that already.

But that makes me paint the control everytime a contained control get the
focus, once the control is already painted with that status, because the
mouse is already inside it.

I was trying to get a way to ensure that border is painted just one time per
MouseEnter and just one time per MouseLeave. It can be performatic when
eventually I start painting hard drawings on there.

But thanks anyways, for the response.

What kind of controls are they? Can you set the enabled property of the
child controls to False? If so, this should keep it from triggering event.

In my Windows Forms application, while executing a process that takes some time, I am changing the cursor to the hourglass by setting Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor. This is working just fine, except that any mouse events generated during this wait period (such as clicking on a button, etc.), get processed once the processing is complete. For example, while waiting for my task to complete, I click on a button (even though the...

I've noticed that controls that are contained in MDI child forms fail to raise MouseLeave events if the MDI child form's MdiParent property is set to Nothing (after it was set to an existing MDI container form) or if the MDI child form's Visible property is set to False (after the MDI child form was shown). This is an enormous problem for my app because I must show different MDI child forms based on the state of my application and many of the...

This is a curious problem. It seems like it should be quite easy. Of course a timer is used to determine when form should be closed, but how do you consistently reset the timer when the mouse is moved over the form. Normally I would use the MouseMove event to know when the mouse moves over the form and use that to reset the timer. However, this fails on a form that has a large number of controls of the form. The Form.MouseMove event...
