determine what control on form the mouse is over - like hitTestInf

Hello,

What is the way to determine what control the mouse is over on a form? Like
if the mouse is over a button you could note this in the form's MouseMove
Event

'--pseudocode here
console.Writeli ne(mouse.Hitest Info.ToString)

Does a winform have anything like the Datagridview.Hi tTestInfo thing? How
can I tell in code what the mouse is passing over on a form?

Thanks,
Rich

Look into the Control.GetChil dAtPoint method.

I have a form with a bunch of image buttons. When the user moves the mouse over a button, I want to do two things: 1. change the Imagebutton's picture, and 2. make another control visible. I'm using the Imagebutton.Attributes.Add("onMouseOver","this.src = 'somepicture.jpg') and that works fine. I've tried some java script to change the other control's visible property by changing is className, but that doesn't seem to work

Sorry for reposting this question, but I did not get a single answer last time, and I'm sure you guys must have some thoughts on the matter. I have a user control which can be dragged and dropped onto a form in my application when it is running. I allow it to be clicked and dragged to a new location on the form. However, the user control has a check box on it, and if the user clicks over the checkbox to drag the user control, the check...

The problem: I want to know, definitively when a slider loses focus after a user has started sliding and hasn't released the mouse yet. It appears that this is captured with the WM_ACTIVATEAPP message but this only goes to the form and I want it in the user control that maybe very much removed from the form's knowledge; i.e. the form may launch a 3rd party form that, upon a call back, decides to launch other form that has my user control...

BACKGROUND: I have some PPT slides that have been converted to HTM (ensuring that the show slide animations while browsing checkbox is checked). The original HTM slides have custom animations to allow movie (wmv) playback on mouse click. (All animations have been verified to work when viewing slides in ppt.) Further, I have ensured that the converted HTM file(s) contain only relative file paths. SITUATION #1 When I open the converted...

Hi I have a user control which the user can "drag" across the screen (I'm not using "real" .NET drag drop - instead a single click flavour, where the control is drawn at the mouse position). Depending on whether the user has "picked up" the control or not, I need the following behaviour 1) When the control is being dragged, the control must not intercept

I have a relatively minor problem that has been bugging me for a long time. I have created a user control which consists of a few panels and labels. What I want to do with this user control is to change its back color when the mouse hovers over it and to change the back color to its previous color when the mouse leaves the control creating the illusion of the control being highlighted. Now I assumed that after the user control was...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...
