Mouse position

[GermanD]

Hi,
How to:
If I move the mouse pointer over a specific X and Y coordinate, I want to run a function.
If I have a button on my form and I move the mouse pointer over the buttons (x , y) coordinates the function must run. Then if the mouse is moved away from the button a different function must run.

Hope you understand what I'm trying to say!

Thanks for you're help in advance!

Take a look at:

Private Declare Function GetCursorPos Lib "user32" (lpPoint As POINTAPI) As Long

API

You may also call your function from the MouseMove event of the form or control over which you're moving the mouse.

yeah... the mousemove event's probably easier.

Private Sub Command1_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)

if X = [your x value] and Y = [your y value] then
call Myfunction
else
call MyOtherfunction
end if

End Sub



However, if you only want the program to call the function while the mouse is over a particular button, you have to use the Command1.Top and Command1.Left declarations:

if X = Command1.Left and Y = Command1.Top then
call Myfunction
else
call MyOtherfunction
end if

However, even if you use exactly that statement the program will only call the function on that one point (Command1.Left, Command1.Top). So you'll have to do some math with the Command1.Height and Command1.Width variables.
