How to fix the event delay

Question

I\'m making a table reservation system for a school project, and I\'m using a list of PictureBoxes to represent the tables. To these PictureBoxes I have linked a hover event

Answer 1

everything works great, except that when i haver the mouse over, it takes 1 second before the event is triggered

That's how Control.MouseHover is defined:

Occurs when the mouse pointer rests on the control.

The "rests" part is the delay of a second. I don't know of any way of adjusting the length of time that the mouse has to rest of a control before it counts as a hover.

If you don't want any delay - i.e. you want an event which is raised as soon as the mouse enters the region of the control - you should be using Control.MouseEnter instead.

From the documentation of both events:

Mouse events occur in the following order:

• MouseEnter

• MouseMove

• MouseHover / MouseDown / MouseWheel

• MouseUp

• MouseLeave
