How to handle ....

[laClass]

Hi,

I wrote a Dialog-based Application and added a statusbar to the Dialog. Id like to display some information (in the statusbar) about a button in the Dialog, when Im hovering over it with the mouse.But I dont know exactly how to check when the mouse is hovering over or leaving the button. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Why don't you use ToolTip?
If you don't wanna use it try to handle WM_MOUSEMOVE message

If this help you let me

I dont know how to use Tooltip exactly.I tried to us WM_MOUSEMOVE, but I couldnt figure out how to match the coordinates of the cursor and the ButtonRect. Can you tell me how to use tooltip. I tried the following but it doesnt display anything :

CRect rect;
add = (CButton*)GetDlgItem(IDC_ADD);
add->GetClientRect(&rect);
m_ctlTT.Create(this);
m_ctlTT.AddTool(this,"Add host",rect,IDC_ADD);




i dont know whats wrong. Do I have to direct any mouseevent to this ToolTipclass ?? Thanks.
