Handling Mouse Events

Question

Hi I am using windows forms. I have a problem in handling mouse events. In my application there is menu bar on top. In menu bar I have several toolstripmenu items. I want that when toolstripmenu item is highlighted it shows some description in label. I am totally confused. What event I used to handle this problem. I used mouse enter mouse move & mouse leave event but when mouse enters in the area of any menu item its alright. The label shows some description when mouse enters or mouse move on the item. But when I move mouse on other area of form. The label remain shows the description about an item. I want that when mouse leaves the area of toolstripmenu item the label goes blank. Help me to solve this problem

The above code works fine for me. I am happy. I really don't know whats the problem at that time. The combination of mouse Enter/Leave event is right choice. The label works fine. Thanks for helping.

Yes I used mouse leave event. But it didn't work for me. Actually it works but it did not work like that as I wish. I use mouse Enter and mouse move events for open toolstripmenuitem. It shows description in label Open files But when I leave open toolstripmenuitem. Label remains unchanged. Label changes when any control in focus on the form. I can't understand working of mouse leave event or when this event fires. Please give me an example code to help me in understanding these events. Thanks for replying my question. Here is my code private void openToolStripMenuItem_MouseEnter(object sender EventArgs e) { label1.Text = Open files; } private void openToolStripMenuItem_MouseLeave(object sender EventArgs e) { label1.Text = ; }

you can remove label description on Mouse Leave event...

The mouse leave event should have helped here but if it does not then how about making the label's value null when the mouse moves on the form?
