MenuItem "unarm" event? [message #439250]

Hi,

I want to show a short description in my application's statusbar
whenever the mouse pointer is moved over a MenuItem. This is pretty
common in Windows applications. (Explorer does this for instance.)

I've attached an ArmListener to detect that the mouse pointer is moved
inside the MenuItem's area, but I can't find a corresponding "unarm"
event in the API to detect that the pointer is moved off the MenuItem. I
need this to reset the statusbar back to its default state.

Is there any way to achieve what I want?

Thanks
-Laurens

There isn't a disarm event. Here is some code that does what you want.
