Mouse.DirectlyOver Property

Definition

Namespace:

System.Windows.Input

Assembly:

PresentationCore.dll

Gets the element the mouse pointer is directly over.

public:
 static property System::Windows::IInputElement ^ DirectlyOver { System::Windows::IInputElement ^ get(); };

public static System.Windows.IInputElement DirectlyOver { get; }

static member DirectlyOver : System.Windows.IInputElement

Public Shared ReadOnly Property DirectlyOver As IInputElement

Property Value

IInputElement

The element the mouse pointer is over.

Remarks

Controls can be composed of multiple elements. DirectlyOver reports the specific element in the composite control the mouse pointer is over and not the control itself. For example, depending on which part of a Button the pointer is over, the DirectlyOver property could report the TextBox of the Content property or the ButtonChrome.

Use the IsMouseOver property on UIElement and ContentElement to determine whether the mouse is over an element, which includes its visual child elements or control compositing elements.

If an element has mouse capture, the mouse pointer is considered directly over the element regardless of the where the mouse pointer is.
