VB6 does not have a "onMouseEnter" and a "OnMouseExit" event, just the "MouseMove".

If I want to display a hidden TextBox as a consequence of an user moving his/hers mouse cursor over a CommandButton (without clicking), using the MouseMove event causes the Textbox to be displayed, which is what we can expect.

However, moving the cursor out of the borders of that CommandButton DOES NOT cause the Textbox to hide again, and it keeps there displayed.

Perhaps we could use a Timer to set how long the textbox remains displayed, but if the text in the box is (for example) 10 lines long, then it would be annoying to the user.

I believe VB6 does not have a "OnMouseEnter" and a "OnMouseExit" events, which are part of the JavaScript Specification, among others. Is that true?

I also know that a "ToolTip" could be an alternative, but it requires the Timer, which brings us back to the beginning.

Can anybody help??
