Since there is no event when the mouse leaves a control, you have to use a timer. But you can use the SYS(1270) instead of MROW, MCOL.

>Is there a way to tell when the mouse cursor has left a control? For example, I want to know when my mouse cursor leaves a container control so I can set properties of that container i.e(raised,flat,sunken) etc. I have seen a technique using MROW() and MCOL() in a timer event, but I was wondering if there was another technique someone is using that I could try!
