>>First of all, It's nice to have ! it enables you to write visual objects to respond when the mouse if over it. For example the toolbarbuttons of the internet explorer.

>Then may I suggest checking out the ActiveBar Control, or some other ActiveX Controls.

Unfortunately this is not alway's a suitable alternative. You're bound to the implementation of the activeX control. building controls within VFP provides more flexibility and is more lightweight.


>>>This can be programmed with the help of timers, but this is clumsy and doesn't work in all cases (timers don't work in a toolbar). Therefore it would be handy to have the described events.

John, Again, why do you have the urge to be rude and try to offense people ? Your behaviour doesn't fit your MVP status. If you don't want to discuss things don't reply ! By the reaction of other people, like jimB I can only conclude this idea is worth a discussion.

>Imagine the overhead involved in implementing what amounts to a insignificant UI-Eye Candy.

How can you judge ? Are you VFP developer team member ? Your remark has no value to me. Only if someone of the VFP-team says it's impossible, I would respectfully withdraw my wish.

>In purely economic terms, the cost would not be justified. And once again, there are ActiveX Controls that can be used instead.

Again, ActiveX controls do not fill the need in all cases and slows an app down even more than one or two extra events.

>Also, I think Lisa Slater came up with best solution that does not use timers. Rather, the various mouseover events across different controls are used.

This method is not sufficient. There are leaks in it ! See the reply of Erik to Roi.

>So you see, the work has been done for you already....<s>

No i'm just waiting for VFP 7 or above.
