Delphi coding help

[(Shovel)]

Well, project is underway and I find myself playing about with Delphi (4 - came free on a coverdisc and its the same version as college) and I'm kinda experimenting.

Today, i was wondering what I could do with different types of object events and hita rut.

I was trying to recreate an effect like that of Office2000 and many new/current winblows programs where you have edit boxes and combo boxes where the border kinda "highlights" when you move the mouse over it.
D4 has the onMouseMove function which allows me to highlight it when you move over, but, unlike Javascript, there is no "onMouseOut" function?! or am I being dumb? (v. likely).

Coding functioning parts of programs is coming along quite nicely though, so thankyou to those who told me to stick with Delphi the other week

ahem..

also: Can anyone recommend some useful Delphi tutorials and small guides online?
I say small, because the thought of having to program "Hello World" just to progress to the meatier parts is a little tedious.
I do intend to geta big book to go alongside my introduction guide (Delphi in Easysteps) but I guess I'm after guidence for using functions and features which are above "total novice" but before "intermediate" and might accelerate me towards "intermediate" a little quicker.

BTW Exor - am looking into C programming too

I find the best program you'll ever need is this:

10 PRINT "Hello."
20 GOTO 10

Or for some masochistic fun, try:

10 MOTOR 1
20 MOTOR 0
30 GOTO 10

This baby switches your cassette tape motor on and off repeatedly, very quickly. Makes a continuous painful grinding noise which will scare the shit out of any other Acorn Electron users.

(It's been a while since I did any programming)
