I need to add a new object to a pinboard-layout when the mouse enters the layout. But how can I detect the mouse entry as an event? I would have thought it would be available as a gesture for an input-model, but apparently not... I know about current-pointer-position, but how would I use that in this context? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Christopher

The discussions found on gmane at http://tinyurl.com/cof8m7 related to notification when focus is lost should be helpful. It would be nice to have built-in Lispworks functions to do this since it keeps popping up. Mitch
