systray icon event while dragging?

i have a system tray icon for my app.
i intercept a mousemouse as standard operating procedure...
it works ok, but:

is there anyway to detect a mousemove when dragging ole data?

i tried changing mousemove to dragover and a couple others to no avail.

the cursor over the systray has the little "no smoking" circle/cross when dragging-

my current theory is that it is impossible to detect hovers/moves when dragging.

is that correct?

does anyone know of a workaround?

can i monitor the mouse coords with API and then detect when it enters a rectangle constructed upon the icon?

any help would be great.
