I am building an ActX obj where the user can select a timeframe. I have the timeframe setup where it can be selected, and currently as the mouse moves across the timearea to select a time, the time is reflected in a textbox.

i.e. I move the mouse over 8A and it will reflect 8:00am in the textbox...

What I would like to do, is have the cursor change to another graphic other than an arrow, and have a small text box float right along with the arrow and display the time in the textbox/cursor as opposed to on the ActX obj itself....

Any suggestions welcome...

Having said all that, to change the cursor over a textbox look up the MouseIcon and MousePointer properties.

For the floating box, try ToolTipText property
