Hello Tal,
Thanks for pointing out, turns out to be transcribing mistake. however the attached file is correct, the condition should be
3. for (int i = ScreenHeight; i >= StartY; i–)

post is fixed as well.

Something strange with the code:
StartY is less then screen height as we can see on line no.2, meaning that we never enter the loop on line 3, since i is set to ScreenHeight, and the condition is for i to be less the StartY with is already less then ScreenHeight:
1. int ScreenHeight = getScreenHeight();
2. int StartY = getScreenHeight() – this.FormHeight;
3. for (int i = ScreenHeight; i <= StartY; i–)

hi mcdasa,
can you elaborate on what exactly you are trying to achieve with mouse events.

couple of mouse events I had to implement on the actual application was to stop the ticker on mouse over and the mouse click event it self.

to make the ticker stop on mouse over, I controlled the while (infinite) loop in BeginScroll Method by using ManualResetEvent(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.threading.manualresetevent.aspx) which effectively works like semaphore/mutex.

Mouse Click Event was rather simple as I just had to invoke another form.

I am going to post on how to achieve all of this as an extended version of this post over the weekend as well.

hope this helps, let me know if you need any further help on this.
