Action when mouse on icon and/or button

[ssimop]

I am working out a QM function-dialog with a static icon. If mouse is moved over the static icon, a menu should be launched.

I am using the technique introduced in :

http://www.quickmacros.com/forum/showthr...7#pid18207

Nevertheless, I have the following questions :

(a) How can I avoid re-launching this menu in the case WM_SETCURSOR clause, if this menu is already launched and visible.

(b) Is there another technique more suitable to this task?

© Can this technique be extended in the case of a button, to execute the button's left mouse action without clicking on it?

I mostly appreciate any advice.
