From: JanAdam on 12 Mar 2008 17:40 Thank you Karl again. I have made two mistakes. First: I have XP so I did check OCX-32 but was searching for a vbx (as in their sample). Second: I quoted wrong link, but I see that you gave Mike the correct one. Anyhow, I got your code up and running, and earlier I had BeastFish's code running as well. I am not going to try Matthias because I do not understand it. He is right saying that one does not need to understand to use it, but if I have choice, I will always opt for using things I can comprehend. I may still ask for help down the road, but I am getting the mouse notification all right from both codes. Thanks all for your help. -- JanAdam "Karl E.
