>I have a container that exands whenever the mouse moves over a label in the corner and returns to default size when the mouse is not over it. I want to use a timer (I think) to have it only happen when the mouse is over the label for a specified time. This will eliminate inadvertant resizing of the container. I'm thinking of having a form property to handle whether the mouse is over the label and then compare the previous and current coordinates in the timer. Sound reasonable or is there a cleaner way? Thanks!

Renoir,
What version of VFP? VFP 7 added the MouseEnter and MouseLeave events. You could create a timer when the label's MouseEnter event and if the timer interval hit, you could do the resizing. In the MouseLeave, release the timer object.

Note: Createobject the timer object to a Form property so it doesn't go out of scope.

HTH.
