Detecting Mouse Enter/Leave while dragging a file

from Stardock Forums
So far, it seems that if the left button is already down, the state won't change as I drag a file over the object. Is there any way to check for this so that I can change state? OnMouseEnter is not called when entering with a dragged file.

Ah, the ever-problematic mouse enter/leave issues.

It's convoluted but this seems to work:

Code: vbscript
  2. Sub Object_OnScriptEnter
  3. 'object.settimer 1, 10
  4. End Sub
  6. Sub object_ontimer1
  7. 'Check where the cursor is
  8. newx= system.CursorX
  9. newy= system.CursorY
  11. 'Check where the object is
  12. l = object.Left
  13. r = object.Right
  14. t = object.Top
  15. b = object.Bottom
  17. 'Compare the 2 positions
  18. 'If mouse position not over object, hide object
  19. If newx < l Or newx > r Or newy < t Or newy > b Then
  20. Object.state = "mouse away"
  21. 'If mouse position over object, show object
  22. Else
  23. Object.state = "mouse over"
  24. End If
  25. End Sub
