[Laszlo-user] mouse hover code?

[jamesr]

**this is just from memory, please make sure the order of parameters and
names of methods on LzTimer are right.

Explanation: This piece of code will setup a timer on mouseover. If the
timer fires, the hover is triggered, showing something. If a mouseout is
received, the timer is removed and the hover is turned off. This is one
possible pattern, but most all will use a timer one way or another.

HTH!
Code:

<view>   ....

   <handler name="onmouseover">
      var this.hoverDelegate = new LzDelegate(this, 'hover');
      LzTimer.add(this.hoverDelegate, 500);
   </handler>

   <handler="onmouseout">
      LzTimer.remove(this.hoverDelegate);
      this.hover('off');
   </handler

   <method name="hover" args="state">
      if(state == 'off'){
         this.something.setVisible(false);
      }else{
         this.something.setVisible(true);
      }
   </method>


   <view name="something" visible="false">
      ...
   </view>

   ...
</view>
