Flickering of textboxes when using mousemove event

[jappe22]

In a form i use the mousemove event on a checkbox with a label. The action it does when moving over the box (or label) is displaying a definition in a textbox on the bottom of the form.

But while moving the mouse over the box, all other textboxes in the form flicker. It's a bit annoying.

1. Does anybody know how to remove the flickering?
Or at least reduce it.

2. Also, the first second i move over the box my calculated fields in that form recalculate. That is not nescessay and also annoying. Why do they do that, and how can i stop it?

Thanks in advance!

Hi

If all you want to achieve is to give the user some indication while the mouse is over the check box, why not look at and use the "Status Bar Text" property..?



Hope this helps!

Because the definitions i want to show when u mouseover or to long to fit in the one line statusbar.

How are ya jappe22 . . .

Perhaps Use ControlTipText to display textbox value will do!

I have tested the idea of changing a label in a mouse move event, and it works for me, without any flickering, in Access 2000. Could other code be interfering?

Aceman, its a nice property i didnt know of but that is not appropiate for my form.

Remou, maybe other code is interfering.
I will check the mousemove code on a very simple database.
I'll let u know soon.

I had a background picture (linked jpg, but also tried embedded) and when i removed that the flickering of other text- and checkboxes stopped.

Now, only the definition textbox flickers a little when mousemoving over another textbox.

So how can i use a background picture without all the texboxes flickering...
