firing mouseEnter msg of an Image control which was painted

[dunbarx at aol.com]

Hi.


Well, at least we know that an image can be either empty or merely erased. In other words, if the image data is simply a bitmap, (is it?) there is a difference between no pixels and pixels that have been erased. I can see that there might be a distinction, and that is fine as long as we know about it. The text of an erased image is not empty. I contains a couple of lines of encoded data. The text of even a simple image is a lot of stuff.


But that does not excuse the message behavior. Will you file a bug report, or wait until others chime in?

Craig, it is even stranger than that :)

If you use the eraser to remove all paint, then as you say, such messages
(e.g. mouseWithin) are not fired.
If you set the imageData to empty, such messages (e.g. mouseWithin) are not
fired.

If you set the text of the image control to empty, such messages (e.g.
mouseWithin) do fire.
