I'm not really familiar with Euphoria Windows programming. (So bear with me
if this isn't feasible in Eu), but I know in C (yes I can hear the gasps
from the community now for mentioning the vile beast :P) that all you have
to do is put code in the mousemove event section that when the mouse's
coordinates correspond with what your control's bounds are, it changes the
properties of the control that you want.

Hope this helps,
