wMsg ??

[Douglas McDonald]

I'm trying tell id the mouse is over a button hovering. I assume the code would be something like
this:

Code Select Expand


Function ASTRCU_ASRELAYSOFFBNT_CUSTOM ( _
                                      ControlIndex  As Long,  _  ' index in Control Array
                                      hWndForm      As Dword, _  ' handle of Form
                                      hWndControl   As Dword, _  ' handle of Control
                                      wMsg          As Long,  _  ' type of message
                                      wParam        As Dword, _  ' first message parameter
                                      lParam        As Long   _  ' second message parameter
                                      ) As Long
Select Case wMsg
      Case wparam
            %WM_NOTIFY
             If lparam = %nm_hover Then mousptr = 2     'I'm sure this is not correct
End Select 


I guess what I'm really asking is how do I use CallBacks like PB's CB.MSG and the rest of CB.xxxxxx

Thanks

I'm not sure whether you receive this message from a button.
I think you only get it from a ListView, but i'm not sure.

You could use this code in mousemove or in a timerevent.

Code Select Expand


    Local Pt                As PointApi
    Local hWnd              As Dword
'----------------------------------------

    'query Handler under the mouse
    Pt.x = LoInt(GetMessagePos())
    Pt.y = HiInt(GetMessagePos())
    hWnd = WindowFromPoint(Pt)
   
    'Is it my button?
    Select Case hWnd
   
        Case HWND_FORM1_CMD(0)
            MousePtr 11
       
        Case HWND_FORM1_CMD(1)
            MousePtr 5
   
        Case Else
            MousePtr 1
   
    End Select

You may need to look at the WM_NCHITTEST message.

I guess my main question is how to use PB's call backs in FF3. Do they go in the custom sections. Can I use CB.xxxx messages like in PB?

As you can see I'm stupid abut this. I'd guess it's simple, I just don't know how to use them with FF3

You can't use the CB.xxxx style messages in FireFly. PB's callbacks are tied to the DDT engine that PB decided to use. It is not compatible with how the WinAPI / SDK style of programming works. Check out my source code for custom controls like the FireLink and you will see how I handle situations where a mouse cursor hovers over a control.

Ok thank you Paul
