Good afternoon.
I want to trigger an event while the XbpStatic() is moving.
Then I make:
oStatic:move := {|aOldPos, aNewPos, Self|;
                  (Self:setPos({aOldPos[01],aNewPos[02]}),;
                   iif(aNewpos[02] > aOldPos[02],;
                       PostAppEvent(anyEvent),
                       PostAppEvent(anyOtherEvent)))}
Why neither oStatic is moved nor anyEvent is not triggered ?

Self is a special variable and you should not use it like you are try o 
instead.

But at the same time I don't understand the reasoning. The move method 
is triggered when an object is moved it is not meant to move an object.

Hello JIm:
good morning.
Many thanks.
Is not the event :motion triggered when the mouse is over the Xbp?
The docs says about the :move event:

<snip>
the xbeP_Move event is generated after a window has been moved. This 
event affects XbpDialog and XbpCrt objects, as well as those Xbase Parts 
that display a window on the screen.
</snip>

Taht is because I thought to use it.

Beling
Best regards

Carlos,
You should move it with oStatic:Motion, not with oStatic:Move

Good morning Itai.
Many thanks.
Please see my post to Jim.
I'd like to know about their differences.

Best regards.
