Hi ! Is there a way to update the window statusbar (to display some help infos) when the mouse move on a textfield or a label ? Thanks !

WaitEvent() Select EventSource() Case Yourtextareaname Select EventID() Case EVENT_GADGETACTION SetStatusText MyWindow, text$ (,,,) This might work...

This works only if you type text into the textfield. Not if the mouse move on it.

No way to do it without checking the position and such manually. I'd have thought that the EVENT_MOUSE{ENTER|LEAVE} events would be queued when the mouse enters a gadget's area, but apparently not.

hope this will be added to the next update ;-)

Have you tried creating a panel "behind" the textarea and checkking it for the mouse instead of the textarea?

hub (Posted 2006) [#7]

i've not tested this, i've a lot of textfields (not textarea). so creating panels is a good idea, but not very elegant ;-( i 'm searching to produce clean code !

I know it is not elegant, but it might work. Better than nothing... :/
