eXontrol Software - Detail/Record Container ActiveX, NET Control

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 method to retrieve the item from point.

The following VB sample displays a message when user right clicks the control:

Private Sub Record1_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
    If (Button = vbRightButton) Then
        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 If
End Sub

The following VC sample displays a message when user right clicks the control:

void OnMouseUpRecord1(short Button, short Shift, long X, long Y) 
{
	if ( Button == 2 )
	{
		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 );
		}
	}
}
