Event after hovering over a button

[redekopp]

Good morning,


I was wanting to create an event to happen if a mouse is hovered over a button.
I want it so another button appears but will go away if I mouse back off the original button.

this is my code so far:

Private Sub Command26_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Me.cmdMagic.Visible = True
End Sub

and for the default value

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

It doesn't work right because I have to set the default value of the magic button visible to false. When I mouse over the command26 button cmdMagic appears but it wont go away after I mouse back off.
Any idea?
Thank you

Maybe this????

Your code...

Private Sub Command26_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
    Me.cmdMagic.Visible = True
End Sub

Then use the click event of the "magic" button to move the focus to another control and hide the button:

Private Sub cmdMagic_Click()
   'cannot set the visible property of a control if it has the focus
   'so set the focus to another control
    Me.Text2.SetFocus    ' <--  some other control - any control
    'now hide the button
    Me.cmdMagic.Visible = False
End Sub

or in the form detail (or whichever section your button is in) put code in the mousemove event to hide the button

Ajax has given you the definitive answer...but what good does it do to have cmdMagic appear, when hovering over Command26, only to disappear when backing off of it? You can never use cmdMagic because you have to move off of Command26 in order to attempt to click on cmdMagic, but cmdMagic won't be there to be clicked!

Maybe it is a government contract.

Not even sure that that's 'good enough for government work!'

Hovering over Command26 causes cmdMagic to be displayed, but there isn't any code to re-hide cmdMagic. In the code I presented, clicking cmdMagic would set the focus to another control, then set cmdMagic to be not visible.

Would this not work?

The point is...the OP wants to make cmdMagic, a Command Button, Visible, when hovering over Command26, only to make it not Visible, when you stop hovering over Command26! You would have to stop hovering over Command26, in order to move to cmdMagic and click on it, but it would then have disappeared!
