Sorry
should read API calls (Application Programming Interface). That is you probably have to access directly the Windows API function calls, get the mouse position from them and then (probably relatively complex) calculate the cell position under the mouse cursor (taking screen resultion, zoom factor, etc. into account9 So IMHO not something i would do. Maybe you can explain WHY you're trying to do this. -- Regards Frank Kabel Frankfurt, Germany "Igor Sudnik" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ... Thanks Frank. But what is PI calls9. I'm a newbee.

Well, it's not really important but this worksheet is going to have links to
many other pages in a workbook. So I thought it would be nice to make them work like a hoover button on a web page.Seems like I have to give it up. Many Thanks. Igor Sudnik.

Cell color change on mouse over
Yes, that's right but it's going to be a text hyperlink (or picture) and I
wanted the cell containing a text hyperlink to change color when mouse is over it. I think I want too much. "Frank Kabel" wrote in message ...

Cell color change on mouse over
Hi Igor,
On a web page, I'm more familiar with the tooltip (title=) as seen at the top of my search.htm webpage than with "cheap effects". In Excel the tool tip is called a Screen Tip and you can override the link that would normally be shown by choosing ScreenTip in the upper right corner of the Edit Hyperlink dialog (Ctrl+K). Not available form the HYPERLINK Worksheet Function. --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "Igor Sudnik" wrote in message ...

sorry didn't notice the two additional postings. Unfortunately
the screen tip, I think, is only available from a hyperlink. You can get a similar effect from a validation, but you have to actually click on the cell for edit. |

Cell color change on mouse over
You might see if floatwnd.zip would work for you
looks like it would be a lot of bother but it is an API call. http://www.bmsltd.ie/Excel/Default.htm |
