Determining Mouse Possition

[Smoke]

What i want to do, is, in the Activate Event of my form, determine which is the mouse possition, or, maybe even easy, just determine
if the mouse is over my form.
I need to do two differents things on that event, based on if the mouse is over the form or not..

Any help?

Thanks.

Re: Determining Mouse Possition

Smoke,
Have you looked at Control.MousePo sition, Control.MouseBu ttons &
Control.Modifie rKeys all shared properties.

Remember that Control.MousePo sition is in Screen Coordinates, so you need to
use Control.PointTo Client to convert into client coordinates, then you can
use Control.ClientR ectangle.Contai ns to see if the point is on the
ClientArea.

You can use Control.Bounds if you want to include the Non-client area of the
form.

Remember that Form inherits from Control, so the above properties are valid
for Forms also.

Hope this helps
Jay
