Consider a form in C# with a list on the left and a MapWinGIS map on the right. The list on the left contains the shapes of a ShapeFile object that is displayed on the map on the right. I want the shapes on the map to be highlighted when I hover over them with the mouse in the list (note: **this is not selection** — so `sf.set_ShapeSelected` should **not** be used!). The effect should be exactly like what happens in the `AxMap_ShapeIdentified` event.

Thank you very much in advance for any solution!
