Mouseclick on Form???

[Ontani]

hey i'v got a question about how to do an event when there's click on the form...

 

I thought with Mybase.Mousedown or so but nothing

 

 

somebody has an idea?

 

Thanx

use the Form's MouseDown event , eg:

   Private Sub Form1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles MyBase.MouseDown
       If e.Button = MouseButtons.Left Then
           MessageBox.Show("you clicked the Left mouse button")
       End If
   End Sub

hu?

 

for some reason this won't work

 

    Private Sub Form1_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles MyBase.MouseDown
       Dim rightClick As New rightclick()
       If e.Button = MouseButtons.Left Then
           rightclick.MdiParent = Me
           rightclick.Show()
       End If
   End Sub

When you say it doesn't work - exactly what do you mean? does it fail to compile? Crash at runtime? Not work as expected? How is rightclick declared?

 

Also in Vb I would recomend agains using variable names that are the same as class names - it can lead to confusion as VB isn't case sensitive.

i don't get any errors.

just when i click on the form normaly an MdiChild form should popup

but that doesn't do.

 

when i use his example i don't get the messagebox either

 

just nothing happens

If you put a breakpoint on the 1st line - does it ever get executed?

[Ontani]

what do you mean with an breakpoint?

just realised that the click on a form isn't the same then a click on the MdiParent.

 

but my problem is now, how do i specify a click on the MdiParent
