Hello all,

I have a problem on simulating a button control using static control when mouse hovers on its area.

Currently I have:

Code:

invoke  SetWindowLong,[hStatic],GWL_EXSTYLE,WS_EX_DLGMODALFRAME or WS_EX_WINDOWEDGE
        invoke  SetWindowPos,[hStatic],0,0,0,0,0,SWP_DRAWFRAME or SWP_NOMOVE or SWP_NOSIZE or SWP_NOZORDER\
                or SWP_SHOWWINDOW
        invoke  InvalidateRect,[hStatic],0,

but it doesn't work as i expect, any help would be appriciate: thx.

I never use the standard common controls.
They are just too generic and very limited.
I use regular windows and custom procedures
to make all of my controls from scratch.
It takes a bit longer to code, but its way
easier to manipulate them later on in life.
If you are going to continue to try this way
may i suggest subclassing the controls wndproc.

We are glad that you came to a solution, but please share it with other people too. Otherwise there will be no point in this thread. A person usually comes to forum expecting answers... Smile

Thank you!

What my own method does is just simulate button behavior only (not all behavior), not real handler yet. I hope this can bring someone an idea. But bitshifter's way is much easier to implement i believe.

Maybe some ideas can be gleamed from my sub-class example - using a static to create a hyperlink.
