Is mouse over form

smithgr,
Try this. let me know if you have questions.

In the form's mouse_move event, add:

Dim MouseOver As Boolean
' See if the mouse is over
 MouseOver = (0 <= X) And (X <= Me.Width) And (0 <= Y) And (Y <= me.Height)

If MouseOver Then
         ' MouseOver is over your form
    End if

This works if the mouse is over the form but not if the mouse is off the form...ie, I set - label1.caption = "over" if true and label1.caption = "not over" if false...???? I really need to know when the mouse leaves the form...

Rejecting this to leave this open again? I'm confused as to how this works...scoring....I'll give the credit once I figure this out...thanks

Just multiply the coordinates you get from the GetCursorPos (in pixels) by 15 to get the equivalent number in twips which is the one used in your form for the Top/Left/Height/Width properties.

smithgr,
Do the following:
' In for form's general Declaration area, after "Option Explicit", add:

  Private Declare Function SetCapture Lib "user32" (ByVal hWnd As Long) As Long
  Private Declare Function ReleaseCapture Lib "user32" () As Long

drop a text box to the form, name it text1

'In the MouseMove Event of the form, add"

Private Sub Form_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)

Dim MouseOver As Boolean
' See if the mouse is over
MouseOver = (0 <= X) And (X <= Me.Width) And (0 <= Y) And (Y <= Me.Height)

If MouseOver Then
   ' MouseOver is true
    Text1 = "Mouse is over the form"
    SetCapture Me.hWnd
    Else
    ' Mouse Left
          'Do something else
        Text1 = "Mouse is Not over the form"
 ReleaseCapture
 End If
End Sub
