Image swapping

[Gimpster]

I've got an image that changes when you move the mouse over the top of it. I've got it to work so that when you move the mouse over it, it changes pictures (I used Image1.MouseMove event) but I can't get it to change back. I can't figure out what event I need. Please help.

I'm assuming that you want the original picture to change back, when the mouse moves off of the image control.

1 way is to use the mouse move of a surrounding object, ie place a label under the image control and make it bigger than the image control.

Hope this helps,

Steve.

Put a frame or a label. Or simply code in the mouse move event of the form itself.

On the original picture:
Image2.Visible = True
to visualize the second image. And on the frame, label, or even another picture:
Image2.Visible = False
to restore Image1

Thank you so much, it works perfectly now!

It may not matter to you, and not that I can suggest a better way, but the object within an object approach will probably not work if you move the mouse very quickly off the image to an area outside of the container object.

That's true, it does not register the movement of the mouse very quickly, so if you move the mouse off of the picture very fast, then it still has the same picture as it did before. You are absolutely correct on that one Marty. So does anyone have a better suggestion? One that doesn't have any glitches like this, or at least where the glitches are very difficult to encounter (meaning, the odds of the glitch occuring are very small).
