Help with MouseLeaveAction

[shahrukh1337]

I have it so where I go over a button is pops up a menu and then when I leave the menu it closes. I want it so it detects if the cursor is outside the dock is self and not on the menu and then closes the menu. Is there a command which can do this?

Ex. MouseLeaveAction=!Execute if [Menu or Background] [!RainmeterHideMeter Menu]

Thanks for the help!

You could perhaps achieve this by adding that MouseLeaveAction to the dock rather than the menu. That way when you leave the menu itself, nothing will happen, but when you leave the dock, the menu closes. This could result in weird behavior in some cases though.

My menu is outside the dock. Please help.

I think you had better post the complete code for the skin you are working with.

After looking at your code, and simplifying it a bit, I believe this is what you are looking for. Note the use of MeterStyles, Groups, and the !HideMeterGroup bang.
