TPanel OnEnter OnExit Handlers

Is there a bug with the OnEnter and OnExit handlers of the TPanel? My
handler functions are not being called. Are these even valid handlers for a
TPanel? I am trying to create a drawing tool which allows me to create a
Panel at runtime, move and resize it all at runtime. Does anyone have any
examples of this?

Thanks

Re:TPanel OnEnter OnExit Handlers

You say you're creating the panel dynamically at runtime, but you don't say
(or show) whether you're actually assigning your handlers to the new object
or not. What does your code look like?

Re:TPanel OnEnter OnExit Handlers

I do set the handlers at runtime. I have created a sample project which has
2 panels on a form. For those panels I create OnExit and OnEnter handlers.
I mouse into and select either of those and I never get into the handlers.
This is with BCB 5. Any clues?

Re:TPanel OnEnter OnExit Handlers

Once again, I ask that you please show code that demonstrates your problem.
There's a difference between CREATING handlers, which you've done, and
ASSIGNING handlers to a runtime-created object, which I'm suspecting you
haven't done.

TPanel *panel = new TPanel(this);
panel->Parent = this;

// have you done the following?
panel->OnEnter = PanelEnter;
panel->OnExit = PanelExit;

Re:TPanel OnEnter OnExit Handlers

I have done exactly that. I do set the handlers on my created objects.
Does the onEnter and OnExit mean anything to a panel?

Re:TPanel OnEnter OnExit Handlers

Remy,

I have found that I can't get the OnEnter to be called with the mouse (click
on the panel does not call the on enter). I have to enable tabstop and tab
to it. Is there a way to enable the mouse to start the OnEnter handler?

Re:TPanel OnEnter OnExit Handlers

OnEnter is triggered in response to the CM_ENTER message which is sent in
response to the WM_SETFOCUS message, which apparently TPanel does not
receive.
