Not sure I get what your talking about.

But if its what I think, why not just have the text on a seperate graphic, and ghost it in on the mouse event.

Oooooooooo tool tip text. You could do that easily.

Just draw a 2D square and add the text inside of it. of course if you want it to be exactly like that but you'll have to do a slight delay.

make a bitmap
store the current image and text into this bitmap
make a sprite way up the numbered system so it sits on top of everything.

attach the current bitmapped image to the sprite.
If mouse is over a specified area then display the sprite.

im really sorry if this is annoying anyone but i know what i have to do i just dont know how to do it. i guess i was just in too much of a rush the first couple of times to explain myself so ... here goes. i want it so that when you hold the mouse over the image it tells what it is(kind of like in matedit where you hold the mouse over the picture to the left and it tells what they are) so far what it is i have a panel on the right. each square is 64x32 the right panel is 129x65(an extra pixel to seperate pictures) it hold 4 pictures. right now and i have the pictures in place. all i need is some code to have the name appear under the mouse cursor(which is 13x13 in case it matters) i dont want it to have a delay like the X or anything i just want it to show up. thx if you can help and im really sorry for being annoying or frustrating

[edit}ok i have an idea to make a different cursor for each one(same cursor with the text under it) but the same question how do i tell it what area and how to change the sprite over that area
