Title: How to Play a Sound When the Mouse Enters a (Delphi) Component
All descendants of TComponent send a CM_MOUSEENTER and CM_MOUSELEAVE messages when the mouse enters and leaves the bounds of the component. You will need to write a message handler for the respective messages if you wish to respond to them - and play a sound, for example, when the mouse "enters" the component.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
uses MMSystem, ...
TMyComponent = class(TComponent)
private
procedure CMMouseEnter(var msg: TMessage) ; message CM_MOUSEENTER;
procedure CMMouseLeave(var msg: TMessage) ; message CM_MOUSELEAVE;
end;
implementation
procedure TMyComponent.CMMouseEnter(var msg: TMessage) ;
begin
sndPlaySound('c:\mysound.wav', snd_Async or snd_NoDefault)
end;
procedure TMyComponent.CMMouseLeave(var msg: TMessage) ;
begin
sndPlaySound(nil, snd_Async or snd_NoDefault) ;
end;
