    Colin,

    Awesome work. It appears we've solved a couple issues with this long topic and are able to achieve the following:
    1) Provide mouse-over selection of listbox accurately


    2) Get the XY Cords of a given control by calculating the dimensions of the window.

    Thank you for your help with this and all others who contributed.

    I will be adding my "custom control" tutorial to this forum in some time.

    I will close the thread in 24 hours

    Best regards

    Addition:

    So I am having trouble implementing this into my application....

    Wizhook is being uncooperative. Only returning 0.

    Must I make a reference to Wizhook? Why might it only return 0?


    Thanks

    EDIT: Solved, had another issue that was not related to Wizhook. All is working

    I don't wish to nitpick but when you say 'we've solved ….', I should point out that I used none of your code in my solution.
    In my opinion, this thread, together with the various links and attached files is in itself a tutorial for anyone who wishes to make use of it.

    As already stated I'm in the process of uploading this as a free resource on my website.
    You are of course welcome to use and modify the code for your own personal use though you should acknowledge the source material used.

    I look forward to see how you do use it as its never really been completely clear to me what your purpose is.

    NOTE: if you wish to use the code in a commercial application, you will need to get my permission to do so.

    I've now published my example application on my website http://www.mendipdatasystems.co.uk/m...ols/4594549378
    The link includes a detailed account of each step involved including

    • measuring the dimensions of each form component
    • Points/twips/pixels conversion issues
    • the use of the undocumented and hidden VBA WizHook function to determine listbox row height accurately

    A PDF is also available of the full Web article
