Rollover (yes there are others)

hey i know they are other posts but they arent exactly what i want, how do i make a rollover image...so i have a button that says music and when they put the mouse over it, i want it to say click me

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
Private Declare Function SetCapture Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function ReleaseCapture Lib "user32" () As Long
Private Declare Function GetCapture Lib "user32" () As Long
 
Private Sub Command1_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
    
    With Command1
        If (X < 0) Or (Y < 0) Or (X > .Width) Or (Y > .Height) Then 
            Call ReleaseCapture
            .Caption = "Music"
        ElseIf GetCapture() <> .hwnd Then 
            Call SetCapture(.hwnd)
            .Caption = "Click Me"
        End If
    End With
 
End Sub

Assuming you are talking about command buttons.

actually imagebox BUT THANKS!

Why (and what is) the Capture code?

It won't work with an imagebox, since it does not provide an hWnd property.

Set/Get/ReleaseCapture are used to set and tell what window wil receive mouse input. The way its used here is just a VB6 hack to simulate MouseEnter and MouseLeave events.

:)

Ah, so I could make events with this code?

Well, yeah, I just did this in a usercontrol recently...

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
Public Event MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Public Event MouseEnter()
Public Event MouseLeave()
 
Private Declare Function SetCapture Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function ReleaseCapture Lib "user32" () As Long
Private Declare Function GetCapture Lib "user32" () As Long
 
Private Sub UserControl_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
    
    With UserControl
        If (X < 0) Or (Y < 0) Or (X > .Width) Or (Y > .Height) Then
            Call ReleaseCapture
            RaiseEvent MouseLeave
        ElseIf GetCapture() <> .hwnd Then
            Call SetCapture(.hwnd)
            RaiseEvent MouseEnter
        Else
            RaiseEvent MouseMove(Button, Shift, X, Y)
        End If
    End With
 
End Sub

:)

well thank you very much, this will be very handy to have around.

Interesting... I wanted to achieve this a while ago... :)

then how did these people make a fancy looking command button...they were like 3d and stuff....and they were image boxes ...i tink...

im making a small sized video to show you

They are pictureboxes... Anyway, you could always add Form 2.0 controls to your project if you want that kind of controls.

It was probably a custom control. Probably a usercontrol with an animation control on it.

I agree with crptblade about the animation thing. They could have made a custom control and added an animation control on it...

If you want things like a transparent textbox, picturebox or that kind of things, then add in your components: "Microsoft Forms 2.0 Object Library"

heres the movie

That appears to be DirectX or Flash effects.

it does, but how did they connect flash and vb commands?!

I believe there is a flash ocx from Shockwave. If you don't have it, try looking at www.shockwave.com for a download.

ok thanks
