Detective!

I have asked this question a couple times before but never got a replied.

Does anyone knows how to pop up a msgbox, once the pointer clicks or moves over the desktop?

I DO NOT WANT TO USE A TIMER.

I have looked up SetCapture and ReleaseCapture.

Thanks

Actually, how do I write a mous_move event for the Desktop.


Thanks!

Using GetDesktop api, get the handle of the desktop.

Then, using API, get the handle of the window the mouse is over.

Then, do something like this:

Code:

---

DoItAgain:
While HandleOFWindowMouseIsOver <> HandleOfDesktop
    Doevents
Wend
MsgBox("blah")
Goto DoItAgain

---

have about using the lost focus so when the mouse isn't in ur app then it will pop up a msgbox

Thank You Raydr and Theman32x.

I will try your method and get back to you RayDr.

I think that was what I was missing - the mouse over api.

Thanks again
