Mouse-Over Button Effect Issue

[McArthurGDM]

Hi All,

I set up a form that is supposed to have a window pop up given that you 'mouse-over' certain text boxes. The only issue is a "flicker" or "flutter" effect that occurs when I implement my simple VBA code. Here it is:

Private Sub Label94_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Me.REFIDlbl.Visible = True
End Sub


Private Sub Detail_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Me.REFIDlbl.Visible = False
End Sub

The "flicker" or "flutter" effect is naturally in the shape and position of my text box that I want to pop up. This happens every time I move the mouse on the detail portion of my form (as expected). Of course, the more pop ups I add, the worse it gets.

Does anyone know how to get around this? Is there another trick/technique I can use?

Thanks!

I don't think there is a fix but I've never used this event.

What popup? The code just shows making a label control visible.

Why are you using this event? Would ControlTipText property serve?

I think what you are talking about would work, I just don't know how to implement ControlTipText.

As you move your mouse over a label, it makes another label visible. If you move the mouse away from the label on the form, it makes it invisible again. However, there is a "flicker" or "flutter" effect associated with it that I can't seem to get rid of it. I think ControlTipText would be the solution and any guidance is appreciated.

Just type into the property whatever text you want the ControlTip to display. Access Help has more guidance.

Okay, I'll mess around with it. Thanks!
