 How can I tell if the mouse is over my form?


How can I tell if the mouse is over my form?   

    You can use the GetCapture() windows API function to capture the mouse. See the Windows documentation for additional information and limitations on mouse capturing. Example:

    procedure TForm .FormDeactivate(Sender: TObject);
    begin
      ReleaseCapture;
    end;
    procedure TForm .FormMouseMove(Sender: TObject; Shift: TShiftState; X,
      Y: Integer);
    begin
      If GetCapture = 0 then
        SetCapture(Form .Handle);
      if PtInRect(Rect(Form .Left,
                       Form .Top,
                       Form .Left + Form .Width,
                       Form .Top + Form .Height),
                       ClientToScreen(Point(x, y))) then
      Form .Caption := 'Mouse is over form' else
      Form .Caption := 'Mouse is outside of form';
    end;
