Delay for buttons

[ikkeugh]

Hello , i've got a question : How do you make those mouse over buttons in Visual Basic 6.0 with a delay ?
I want them to look like this .

The buttons come a few (small)seconds later so they have a delay .
When Its in down state , it shouldn't do a thing untill the mouse is released.
So does someone know how to do the delay thingy ?
You can download the program and see it for yourself , but I made a vid , so it would be easier .
(in .mov and .avi )
This is the program:

These are the vids:
Buttons : Quickplayer Or Buttons : Windows media player

(By the way : Source written ones :) )

Dim OrigColor As Long
Private Sub Form_Load()
    OrigColor = Command1.BackColor
    End Sub
Private Sub Command1_Click()
      Command1.BackColor = vbRed
End Sub

I had to do this once. Pain in the rump it was.

You should code the mouse enter, mouse exit events. and, if supported, mouse hover events of the buttons.

the problem with this is speed. if the user moves their mouse too quickly, the events (either mouse enter or mouse exit) may not trip.

in such a case, you should code complimentary events in other controls to make sure your buttons are not 'stuck' when mouse-overed. Example: the forms mouse move events should make sure the buttons are not colored as if the mouse were over them.

I'm not sure of the look you're after (can't look at the links, as my work system blocks everything). But have a look at this thread which was about adding "XP-Style orange buttons" to a VB6 program. I have a feeling it covers something like what you're looking for.

That's easy! Use a dial-up connection. :)
