MouseDown Event  
 

The MouseDown event is generated when a mouse button is pressed.

Syntax

Sub object_MouseDown( [Index As Integer], Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Integer, Y As Integer )

Remarks

The MouseDown event is generated when the user presses a button on the mouse. The following arguments are passed to the event handler:

Button
Returns an integer that identifies the button that was pressed to cause the event. The Button argument is a bit field with bits corresponding to the left button (bit 0), right button (bit 1), and middle button (bit 2). These bits correspond to the values 1, 2, and 4, respectively. Only one of the bits is set, indicating the button that caused the event.
Shift
An integer that corresponds to the state of the Shift, Ctrl, and Alt keys at the time the button is pressed. The Shift argument is a bit field with the least-significant bits corresponding to the Shift key (bit 0), the Ctrl key (bit 1), and the Alt key (bit 2 ). These bits correspond to the values 1, 2, and 4, respectively. Some, all, or none of the bits can be set, indicating that some, all, or none of the keys are pressed. For example, if both Ctrl and Alt keys are pressed, the value of Shift is 6.
X, Y
Returns the current location of the mouse pointer. The X and Y values are always expressed in terms of the coordinate system set by the container. To determine the current row and column where the mouse is positioned in the virtual display, use the MouseX and MouseY properties.
