how do I make the equivalent of OnMouseOut

[calian]

I'd like to have the text in a field react (for example, go BOLD) when I let the cursor hover over the field, and react again (text back to normal) when the mouse moves on.

I can use the On Mouse Move event to make the BOLD, but moving off the field does not cause it to return to normal.

Thanks for any help.

Use the Mouse Move events for the form sections. These do not fire when your mouse is over a control so when it does fire it stands to reason that the mouse is not over a control so you can set them all to normal. Durkin

Durkin,

Good catch! I appreciate it.

Anyone else looking to do this, you should probably use some conditional statements. If you just have the statements fire without controls, all the fields involved flicker with every mouse movement. For example

Private Sub txtFieldName_MouseMove()
If Not txtFieldName.FontBold Then
txtNameLast.FontBold = True
End If
End Sub

and in the form's event, you have

Private Sub Detail_MouseMove()
If txtNameLast.FontBold Then
txtNameLast.FontBold = False
End If
end sub
