I am showing a form on a control's mouseover.I have few controls like label,picturebox and textbox on the form.I want to hide the form on form's mouse leave event and I have written the function to hide the form on form's mouse leave.But when the form is seen and if I move the mouse from one control to other,the form hides and is seen again.It gives a flashing effect of the form.
How to resolve it.

Don't repost the same thing - have a little patience.
