| X as OLE_XPOS_PIXELS | A single that specifies the current X location of the mouse pointer. The x values 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 Activate event if your application needs to be notified when a new page is activated. Use the PageFromPoint property to get the page from the cursor.
The following sample prints the page from the cursor:
Private Sub Tab1_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
With Tab1
Dim p As Long
p = .PageFromPoint(X / Screen.TwipsPerPixelX, Y / Screen.TwipsPerPixelY)
If (p >= 0) Then
Debug.Print "The page " & .Pages(.Pages.PosToIndex(p)).Caption
End If
End With
End Sub
