Mousemove and find a button

[simmeone]

Hello.

I have build a Win32 API program, with a static and a button window. In WM_MOUSEMOVE I tray to find the to window and post a message when the mouse-cursor is over the static or button window.
With the static window it works very fine. The button window is ignored but when I make a static window than it works too. Why it it so ? What I have to do, that Windows find the button window too ?

A lot of thanks

Regards SiM

Your button is an other window. If you want your button to handle some many messages, try to subclass it. It means you should change its WndProc. John Fill

hmm ... I get another tip, that I should work with WM_NCHITTEST but I really don't know what I should do there ... When I work with WM_NCHITTEST suddenly nothing works correctly ...

Have anyone a idea ?

No, if so, see WM_NOTIFY, but is not the best idea. Hittest is a message what you can send to see information on that coordinate for the window you are interested. The same message is sent by the system to know information about windows under mouse, before sending WM_*BUTTON*, WM_MOVE... In this case your application can respond explicitly or no to this message. John Fill
