Thread: StatusBar

Hi:

There is a DialogBox with some controls on it. if I move the mouse on one of the controls, status bar shows the corresponding text. But how can I get the control ID when I move the mouse on the control?

BOOL DlgProc(....)

Code:

case WM_MOUSEMOVE:
{

    switch(CtrlID)
    SendMessage(hwndStatusBar,...,...,...);

}

break;


Thanks.

I doubt you even receive a WM_MOUSEMOVE if the mouse is over a child window.

You could subclass all of your controls...

yes, it seems ok with WM_MOUSEMOVE, but now I have no idea that how to receive the control handle or ID when move the mouse on it

So you actually get the WM_MOUSEMOVE?

You could use GetWindowFromPoint and pass the mouse coordinates.

thanks, but I don't know if that is precious, is there any other way to do this?
