[AccessD] How to tell a button's "air space"is nolonger beinghovered over

    You are most welcome Bill!
    
    ps: 
    Last month you were seeking a solution for synchronized scrolling of a pair of subforms. Does the problem stand resolved ?

Best wishes,

  I tried your code A.D., it works pretty well.

  It occasionally misses when the button's edge is near the top (but not at
  the top) of its section and when another control is near the button's edge..

  But it's great, thank you.

  Bill,

      Apparently, in view of special positioning of control in question, you
  are looking for a solution that is self contained within control's MouseMove
  event. You could experiment with sample code given below:

  ' Code in form's module
  '==============================
  ' Declarations section
  Private gX As Single, gY As Single
  '---------------------------------------------

  Private Sub CmdTest_MouseMove( _
                      Button As Integer, _
                      Shift As Integer, _
                      X As Single, Y As Single)
      
      With Me.CmdTest
          Me.CmdTest.Caption = "Test (MM)"
          
          If gX <> 0 Then
              If (X > (0.9 * .Width) And X > gX) _
                          Or (X < (0.1 * .Width) And _
                          X < gX) Then
                  Me.CmdTest.Caption = "Test"
              End If
          End If
          
          If gY <> 0 Then
              If (Y > (0.9 * .Height) And Y > gY) _
                          Or (Y < (0.1 * .Height) And _
                          Y < gY) Then
                  Me.CmdTest.Caption = "Test"
              End If
          End If
      End With
      
      gX = X
      gY = Y
  End Sub
  '==============================

      Normal caption of command button named CmdTest is "Test". When mouse
  pointer is brought over it, the caption changes to "Test (MM)". As & when
  the mouse pointer moves away from the control, the caption reverts back to
  normal, i.e. "Test".

      Note:
      (a) MouseMove event fires in rapid-fire style. Values for X and Y
  returned by this event have a range from 0 upto the width and height (in
  twips) of the control in question.
      (b) The multiplying factors of 0.9 and 0.1 used in the sample code could
  perhaps be fine tuned further (say 0.95 and 0.05) so as to narrow down the
  twilight zone. However a coarser setting as adopted above, is found
  conducive to more consistent behavior. This is because a deliberately wild
  mouse sweep by the user can result in X or Y value getting truncated short
  of the potential maximum, even though the mouse pointer has moved out.

  Best wishes,
  A.D. Tejpal
