mousemove question

[Olly]

Hi everybody!
I'm actually trying to change the image of a PictureBox when the user
points with his mouse over it. But my problem is that the MouseMove event doesn't catch that properly. For example when the user moves the mousepointer too fast over the pic or out of the pic and the form,
it simply won't call the mousemove event and stay as it is.
What I need would be some sort of fast reacting Hover without having to add the mousemove event to every other object in the form in order to change the mouseover pic of the picturebox back to normal.
Currently I'm using some 3rd party buttons which do that job, but I think there's also an api solution for that which I've seen somewhere but I can't remember anymore how it worked.
I hope you understand what I mean.

thx in advance for your help, greatly appreciated

The API function that you were thinking of is probably TrackMouseEvent.

yes, that's right, i read the statement of Steve McMahon to that, it seems to be a real tough problem which has many different solutions even depending on the os. So it still needs a dll but at least I don't need to use that other third party thing any more. Thx.

(not supported under win95 or nt 3.51, you would need to install a new COMCTL32.DLL first)
