    Hi All.

    Could anyone tell me how to get the text under the mouse pointer ?

    It might be that I need to get the text from another application

    Type it in the 'tooltip text' for the control concerned.

    When the mouse hovers over the control the text will appear.

    May be like that

    VB Code:
    1. Text1.ToolTipText = Text2

    Thanks for the replies but

    It is not Tooltip...

    If i move my mouse over another control (a label for example) then i want to be able to pick up the text under my mouse (like a screen scraper).

    If i mouse my mouse over this thread (browser)for example then I want to pick up (display) the text beneeth the mouse. or if I move my text over Explorer i want to see the direcotry name beneeth the mouse.

    Thanks
