Chris,
this is fine and I started working that way but I can't figure out how to manage the cases where after clicking, let's say, on the "File" option then the end user fly over "Open" or "Close" item.
Just to make sure, launch Wordpad, click on File, fly over the items below... This is exactly what I'm looking for.
Ok, may be, before displaying the menu I could parse it, make a linked list containing all the length of all the items available (think of cases where there are menus, sub menu, sub sub menu...) and store all the associated coordinates and then every 1/n second get the current mouse coordinate, and find in my linked list which items correspond the rectangle containing the current mouse coordinates and finally send a help string into a st
atus bar.
Well, I guess it is a very good subject for an additional set of functions in the Toolbox and I was looking for an easy way to send comment on the menus items in my status bar.
Please let me know if I missed one point.
Best regards, Philippe
