HotTrack - the property whereby the item under the mouse pointer becomes emphasised

Declaration

Source position: comctrls.pp line 1169

Description

HotTrack is the name given to the feature whereby, as the mouse pointer moves over some graphic item (eg a tab, an entry in a list, a button or other control in a form), that item becomes emphasized in some way.

The default list of emphasis possibilities is given by the definition

TListHotTrackStyle = (htHandPoint, htUnderlineCold, htUnderlineHot)

in other words

• it may be indicated by a hand pointer
• it may be underlined even when Cold (ie the pointer has covered it and moved on, but the underlining remains)
• it may be underlined when Hot (ie when the pointer is directly on the item)

This feature can be used in List Views and in TabControls
