mouse over issues

[bigmac]

not sure if this is the right forum, can you help please ,
I have a form [main form] and a subform[subform], on the subform I have a label in the header [lbl22] , what I am trying to achieve is that when the user moves over the label it will open a label [info] on the main form code using so far
Private Sub ClientName_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
info.Visible = True
End Sub
any ideas please

What do you mean by?

open a label [info] on the main form code

Open a label does not make sense.

If you mean there is a hidden label on the main form and you want to show it then the code is

me.parent.info.visible = true

More info please. Can you give an example of what you want to happen?

I'm also unclear about your aims.
Its certainly possible to show & update the caption on a label as you move the mouse

For example in the 2 screenshots attached I have a form with 18 option buttons for displaying different reports.
As I move the mouse over each button, the text in the footer area is updated and, in my example, a thumbnail image of that report is shown to assist users

Does that help explain the purpose?

found this and seems to work


Private Sub lbl122_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
info.Visible = True

Detail_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
info.Visible = False
End Sub
