event MouseDown (Button as Integer, Shift as Integer, X as OLE_XPOS_PIXELS, Y as OLE_YPOS_PIXELS)
Occurs when the user presses a mouse button.

 TypeDescription 
   Button as Integer An integer that identifies the button that was pressed to cause the event.  
   Shift as Integer An integer that corresponds to the state of the SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT keys when the button specified in the button argument is pressed or released.  
   X as OLE_XPOS_PIXELS A single that specifies the current X location of the mouse pointer. The X value is always expressed in container coordinates.  
   Y as OLE_YPOS_PIXELS A single that specifies the current Y location of the mouse pointer. The Y value is always expressed in container coordinates.  
Use a MouseDown or MouseUp event procedure to specify actions that will occur when a mouse button is pressed or released. Unlike the Click and DblClick events, MouseDown and MouseUp events lets you distinguish between the left, right, and middle mouse buttons. You can also write code for mouse-keyboard combinations that use the SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT keyboard modifiers. Use the EditorFromPoint property to get the editor from point.

The following VB sample displays the editor from the point when user clicks the control:

Private Sub Record1_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
    Dim e As EXRECORDLibCtl.Editor
    Set e = Record1.EditorFromPoint(X / Screen.TwipsPerPixelX, Y / Screen.TwipsPerPixelY)
    If Not e Is Nothing Then
        MsgBox e.Label
    End If
End Sub

The following VC sample displays the editor from the point when user clicks the control:

void OnMouseDownRecord1(short Button, short Shift, long X, long Y) 
{
	CEditor editor = m_record.GetEditorFromPoint( X, Y );
	if ( editor.m_lpDispatch != NULL )
	{
		TCHAR szOutput[1024];
		wsprintf( szOutput, "%s", (LPCTSTR)editor.GetLabel() );
		::MessageBox( NULL, szOutput, NULL, NULL );
	}
}
