Pop up message required without clicking anywhere on the Pivot Table

Hi
I have an object (Table / Graph) in my report. I am wondering if there is any API enhancement or any property on the objects by which, when I move my mouse pointer over an object or on data inside in the object, I should get prompted with a message (just like a tool tip kind of a thing). I am aware of Help text (which appears on the click of a button, also macros can be triggered based on events, but does just moving the mouse pointer over an object get considered as an event, if yes how we can capture this, else any other way anybody has implemented this.
Appreciate any help.
Regards,
Amit

Hi Amit,

One way I could think of right now is (which I think is not good :-)):

1) Create a text box. Keep it 100% transparent. Dont put any text in it, instead write down your message in it's help text.

2) Put it over the object (Table/graph) where you wish to display the message. Keep the text box on top layer and the chart on bottom layer.

3) Whenever you scroll the mouse over this object, you will see the message without clicking anywhere.

However, with this approach you will loose the capability of selecting any field inside the chart/graph. Waiting for someone to throw a better idea..

Thanks

Amit
