Vlad:

I already have a connecting network between mousemove events on my base controls and base forms -- so I would not be creating mousemove connections just for fancytips. It may not work to address fancytips through the mousemove event -- I just though I'd try it out.

If it works, I'll let you know.

Here is my code to test whether objectundermouse if the active control on the current container

*---- begin code ----

*-- fancytooltip.IsObjectWithFocus()
* Called by timer.timer()
LOCAL loObjectUnderMouse

loObjectUnderMouse = this.oObjectUnderMouse
.IF TYPE("loObjectUnderMouse") = "O" .AND. (.NOT. ISNULL(loObjectUnderMouse))
. WITH loObjectUnderMouse
. IF UPPER(loObjectUnderMouse.baseclass) $ ;
. "CHECKBOX COLUMN COMBOBOX EDITBOX LISTBOX "+;
. "OPTIONGROUP SPINNER TEXTBOX"
. *-- Get the object's parent
. WITH loObjectUnderMouse.parent
. IF UPPER(.baseclass) $ "FORM PAGE TOOLBAR"
. *-- If the active control on the page, form or toolbar is
. * the control under the mouse, do not display the tooltop
. IF TYPE(".activeControl") = "O"
. IF .ActiveControl.name = loObjectUnderMouse.name
. RETURN .T.
. ENDIF
. ENDIF
. ENDIF
. ENDWITH
. ENDIF
. ENDWITH
ENDIF

RETURN .F.

*----------- end code ------
