MouseMove Event for Screen or Application

[billschu]

Hi,

I'm wondering if there is any way to trigger an event when the mouse moves over any portion of the Access screen / application, not just a form or control. The problem is, when the mouse is moved too quickly over a control and then off the form, the mousemove event for the form is not triggered (even though the mouse in fact did move over the form, I guess it is just too quick to register). Once the mouse is off the form then there is nothing I can do to trigger an event.

What I am doing with the control when the mouse moves over it is changing its properties so that it is raised which provides a nice visual effect. When it moves off the control (which is an image, by the way), I want to change it back to flat. The problem is like I mentioned if they move to fast off the control the form mousemove event is not triggered and the control stays raised.

Thanks,
Bill

How about:

-- maximising your form, so the mouse will always be over some part of it
-- adding your 'make the control flat' code to the MouseMove events of the Form Header and Form Detail sections as well as to the form itself?

When I tried this, I could not move the mouse anywhere, however fast, without triggering the required event.

I hope this is useful.
