Highlight listbox rows on mouseover

[fugifox]

Is it possible to highlight the rows of a list box as the mouse moves
from row to row?
You know just like it happens with combo boxes.

There's no MouseMove event for individual rows of a Listbox and I know no other way you could work this. Maybe someone else knows of a way. You could, of course, use a combobox and keep it dropped down all the time.

Sounds a really smart idea!
But do I keep it always dropped? I don't know of any relative property

Sorry, wasn't thinking! No, you can only have it dropped down when it has focus.

So, any other ideas on how to implement such an effect?

A late reaction, maybe some found already an other solution. I used this one:
Got some code to find out the position of the mousepointer.
from http://www.freevbcode.com/ShowCode.Asp?ID=1120
Option Explicit
Private Type POINTAPI
X As Long
Y As Long
End Type
Private Declare Function GetCursorPos Lib "user32" _
(lpPoint As POINTAPI) As Long

'***********************
'THESE TWO FUNCTIONS RETURN THE POSITION ON THE SCREEN
'IN PIXELS, OF THE CURSOR
'EXAMPLE USAGE:
'Private Sub Form_MouseMove(Button As Integer, _
'Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
' Label1.Caption = "X Screen Position = " & GetXCursorPos
' Label2.Caption = "Y Screen Position = " & GetYCursorPos
'End Sub
'***********************************
Public Function GetXCursorPos() As Long
Dim pt As POINTAPI
GetCursorPos pt
GetXCursorPos = pt.X
End Function
Public Function GetYCursorPos() As Long
Dim pt As POINTAPI
GetCursorPos pt
GetYCursorPos = pt.Y
End Function
Then in the On MouseMove event off the Listbox, I putted a script like this:

Private Sub lstbox1_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Label1.Caption = "X Screen Position = " & GetXCursorPos
Label2.Caption = "Y Screen Position = " & GetYCursorPos
'create 2 labels to find out the cursorposition
Me.lstbox1.SetFocus
Select Case GetYCursorPos
Case 83 To 105 'the numbers you got from the labels
Me.lstbox1= 1
Case 106 To 126
Me.lstbox1= 2
Case 127 To 147
Me.lstbox1= 3
Case 148 To 169
Me.lstbox1= 4
Case 170 To 194
Me.lstbox1= 5
Case Else
Me.lstbox1= 0
End Select
End Sub
