Hi David,

Try this:

*** Listbox MouseMove events
Local lc_FontStyle, ln_FontHeight, ln_Index

With This
   lc_FontStyle = iif( .FontBold, 'B', '' ) + iif( .FontItalic, 'I', '' ) + ;
      iif( .FontUnderline, 'U', '' )
   ln_FontHeight = FontMetric( 1, .FontName, .FontSize, lc_FontStyle ) + ;
      FontMetric( 4, .FontName, .FontSize, lc_FontStyle )

   ln_Index = .TopIndex + int((nYCoord - .Top) / ln_FontHeight)
   * .ListIndex = ln_Index   && autoselect
   Wait .List( ln_Index ) window nowait
EndWith
