Coding Java like RollOver effects...

Earlier in the week Seaweed had given me the following code to allow me the ability to
use a Mouse Rollover. This was a great function. The problem I am having is that when
I run my app, the act of MouseOver causes a quick flicker or flash....This will not be
acceptable for the software I am working on. There must be a better way to code a
"JAVA like rollover effect", that is efficient, and flicker free?



Seaweed's code:

Option Explicit

Private Sub Form_Load()
Image1.Visible = False
End Sub

Private Sub Form_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As
Single)
Image1.Visible = False
End Sub

Private Sub Label1_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As
Single)
Image1.Visible = True
End Sub


Any help will be greatly appreciated,

Hi,
try this code, its not mine...
its the code in one of the samples that comes with vb


Private Sub image1_Click()
' Refresh the image.
image1.Refresh
'place your code here
Call DoMyProcedure
'or
Test=DoMyFunction(SomeParam)
End Sub

Private Sub image1_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, x As Single, Y As Single)
' Show the picture for the down state.
image1.Picture = image1ButtonDn.Picture
End Sub

Private Sub image1_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, x As Single, Y As Single)
' If the button is pressed, display the up bitmap
' when the mouse is dragged outside the button's area;
' otherwise, display the down bitmap.
Select Case Button
Case 1
If x <= 0 Or x > imgFileOpenButton.Width Or Y < 0 Or Y > image1.Height Then
image1.Picture = image1ButtonUp.Picture
Else
image1.Picture = image1ButtonDn.Picture
End If
End Select
End Sub

Private Sub image1_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, x As Single, Y As Single)
' Show the picture for the up state.
image1.Picture = image1ButtonUp.Picture
End Sub


I hope this helps

Basically it checks to see if the mouse pointer is directly over the button (in the mousemove event), and if its not then the standard image is automatically implemented.

when the label1 mousemove event is triggered, so is the form mousemove event, so your programs processes are like this

Mouse Moves
Label Mousemove Event Raised
picture.visible = true
Form Mousemove Event Raised
picture.visible = false

i will send you the code, when i work out a way to fix it ok?

Thanks for all of your help guys.
