I'm having a problem here... I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Can someone check out the code below and tell me why it doesn't function properly.

When it starts up, the msgbox will show you the value of the edit control. but then when you hover over the control the WM_MOUSEMOVE seems to not grab the contents of the edit box... what do you think:

Code:
#SingleInstance,Force
OnExit,GuiClose

Gui,Add,Edit,vcurious,%A_Now%
curious_TT :=

Gui,Show
OnMessage(0x200, "WM_MOUSEMOVE")

Gui,Submit,NoHide
msgbox % curious

Return

WM_MOUSEMOVE()
   {
      Gui,Submit,NoHide
      static CurrControl, PrevControl, _TT  ; _TT is kept blank for use by the ToolTip command below.
      CurrControl := A_GuiControl
      If (CurrControl <> PrevControl and not InStr(CurrControl, " "))
         {
           displaytext := %CurrControl%_TT
            IfInString,CurrControl,curious
               {
                  FormatTime,readableTime,%curious%,dddd MMMM d, hh:mm:ss tt
                  displaytext = Call Time: %readableTime%
                  Tooltip %displaytext%`nbecause: '%curious%' is blank!
               }
            SB_SetText(displaytext)
           PrevControl := CurrControl
         }
      Return
   }

GuiClose:
   ExitApp

The
Code:
Gui,Add,Edit,vcurious,%A_Now%
adds a global variable named curious,
Quote:
To refer to an existing global variable inside a function (or create a new one), declare the variable as global prior to using it.
