How to implement Mouse leave for a form.

I have a very small form that opens up to display some info. I'd like the form to close when the mouse leaves the form. I noticed there is no mouseleave or mouseenter for forms. Any other method to do this

Thx

Visual FoxPro2

It has mousemove event.

Yes, but no mouseleave event...

There is MouseMove Event method with:

LPARAMETERS nDirection, nShift, nXCoord, nYCoord

You may close the form when mouse pointer leaves the form surface(setting mouse coordinates) using nXCoord and NyCoord

Another approach might be to use a timer that checks AMouseObj() and acts accordingly.

MouseMove can't be a help. I have to set a minimum/Maximum nXcoord/nYcoord, and if the user moves the mouse too fast, It won't fire.

In vfp 7 you have:

MouseLeave Event - mouse moves out of an object. You may drop a rectangular shape at margin of the form. When mouse leaves the object (aprox.same area with the form) form will close.

I thought about puting a container the size of the form in the form and use its MouseLeave method but I thought there may be a better way to do this.

MouseMove can help. Use your imagination. You might also check OnMouseOut at universalthread.com which implements it with a timer (remember people were not helpless when there weren't MouseEnter/Leave events but only MouseMove).

Perhaps note my own elementary use of "define window ... name" (command) here (today).

... with addobject() of an image object to the resultant form-container.

... as a workaround bridge to implementing swift form release during mousemove or mouseleave events ... upon a strategic *wait-window-nowait-like* form object.
