Message: [QUOTE="ClayB [Syncfusion], post: 3945706"] You can have your UserControl implement IMessageFilter. This will allow it to get all messages application wide. You can then filter those messages down to the ones over your user control, and even further filter to to the specific you want to know about. Below is a code snippet. -- Clay Burch, .NET MVP Visit [URL="http://www.syncfusion.com"]www.syncfusion.com[/URL] for the coolest tools public class UserControl1 : System.Windows.Forms.UserControl , IMessageFilter { public UserControl1() { // This call is required by the Windows.Forms Form Designer. InitializeComponent(); Application.AddMessageFilter(this); } const int WM_MOUSEMOVE = 0x200; const int WM_LBUTTONUP = 0x202; public bool PreFilterMessage(ref Message m) { if(!this.IsDisposed && this.Bounds.Contains(this.PointToClient(Control.MousePosition))) { if(m.Msg >= WM_MOUSEMOVE && m.Msg <= WM_LBUTTONUP) { Console.WriteLine(m.ToString()); // return true; //if you have handled teh message your self } } return false; } //.....more code } [/QUOTE]
