public:
static property System::Windows::IInputElement ^ DirectlyOver { System::Windows::IInputElement ^ get(); };
public static System.Windows.IInputElement DirectlyOver { get; }
static member DirectlyOver : System.Windows.IInputElement
Public Shared ReadOnly Property DirectlyOver As IInputElement
Property Value
The element the mouse pointer is over.
Remarks
Controls can be composed of multiple elements. DirectlyOver reports the specific element in the composite control the mouse pointer is over and not the control itself. For example, depending on which part of a Button the pointer is over, the DirectlyOver property could report the TextBox of the Content property or the ButtonChrome.
Use the IsMouseOver property on UIElement and ContentElement to determine whether the mouse is over an element, which includes its visual child elements or control compositing elements.
If an element has mouse capture, the mouse pointer is considered directly over the element regardless of the where the mouse pointer is.
