>>>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!

I've also found that when changing the specialeffect property of a container object, if container.visible = .T. is issued it will behave correctly as well.
Just another quirky thing that makes VFP so special!!!

Thanks again for the Class info!!
