Hi Pieter,

I think you should you the MouseHover event of the form to detect if tthe
user wants to activate your notification form, and then activate the form and
disable your "fadeout timer".

You can test which event is fired like this:

   Private Sub Form1_MouseEnter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.MouseEnter
       Debug.WriteLine("MouseEnter")
   End Sub

   Private Sub Form1_MouseLeave(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.MouseLeave
       Debug.WriteLine("MouseLeave")
   End Sub

   Private Sub Form1_MouseHover(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.MouseHover
       Debug.WriteLine("MouseHover")
   End Sub

Hope this helps,

Joris

Hi Pieter!

What about simply using the someForm.Focused boolean property?
