Hi all.
I am wondering how to select and be able to hover over an invisible control and let it respond to the user's actions. It needs to be over other controls that also respond to user's actions.
I have searched everywhere and nothing has come up.
Thanks,
iProgramIt

EDIT: Doesn't matter. I found my solution.

why you want to select or hover event for a invisible control?

Did you mean on mouse hover the invisible control should be visible?

For an invisible control I see problems.
What about an enabled control ?
Or perhaps a customized control which isn't really invisible but could respond to you ?

What is exactly your requirement ?

The question makes no sense, because you are not telling us what application type UI framework/library you mean.

If it is control invisible,then how know user in that place have control ? user simply mouser hover to each and every pixels of browser ? ,i think u need mouse hover for disable control.In disable control u can get mouse hover.
But in invisible control u simply pass value and get back for example textbox make as visible false and u can pass value to that textbox,but cant mouse hover

It was simply to create and draw a bitmap onto the screen and allow controls to be selected behind it. Not really significant.

Please see my comment to the question. Also, it's not clear what could you possibly mean by "selection", but whatever it is, it cannot be applied to a hidden control. Not that it's just impossible, it does not even make any sense.
