Thanks Eric,
So my trapping the mouseDown message will break what I want to do while the mouse is down?!!
BUT when you mouseDown on a menu and then with it still down you nav down to a sub menu it seems to still highlight text items. And the same works in paint tools where you mouseDown a tool and sub to another tool in a popup. Seems kinda the same...
What kind of pending message is good for this and also is there a way to get the button to 'highlight' without a mouseDown???
Thanks again
tom

Hi Tom,
Once the mouse is down, the engine stops sending any message until the mouse is up.
Then some retroactive messages are sent (as mouseleave).
You can check this in the message watcher (where mouseStillDown is not shown).
So, the only way I see to do that would be using a pending message with a loop which would check other buttons status :-(

I have a few buttons and when the mouse is down over a button the background turns blue. This is good. Now I want to have the other buttons turn blue by still holding the mouseDown but moving it over the other buttons and when it is over them that they will act like a mouseDown has been sent to them.
I have tried mouseDown, mouseStillDown, mouseWithin, mouseEnter etc.
No luck,
I might be able to do a mouseOver (SC) but prefer the mouseDown if possible.
