Detecting The Mouse Click Event With A Combo Box Control
Does anyone know if there is a mouse click event fired when a combo box dropdown is clicked. The click event seems to fire only when something is selected from the dropdowm list. But if nothing is selected the event appears not to happen.
I need a way to detect the click event even if nothing is selected or no changes are made to the selection.
Can anyone help?

!Help On Detecting Mouse Click's!
Hi I was wondering what API would be used to detect Mouse click's like I want it to give me a message box if the left or right buttons clicked. And I want it to work off my forms window. What I need this for is remote desktop that I’m creating but I can’t seem to find the API I need in an API Program that I got from AllApi website.
I Have Api2004 for the constants and types. I’m working with visual basic's 6 studio and no MSDN. So what could i use to detect mouse left and right clicks??
P.S Thanks for your time and hope you could answer my question

Raising A Mouse Click Event Without Clicking On The Mouse
I want to raise a mouse click event on a form in a project from another
project without actually clicking on the command button..
For eg:
I have an application which has a sign in form where i accept username
and password... There is a sign in command button..
I want to try and sign in from another project without actually
clicking on the sign in button...
i.e I want to call the commandbutton_Click( ) function of that command
button
I know there is something like "reflection" in C# (VB.NET) but i want
to do this in Visual Basic 6.0...
Losing Focus And Detecting Mouse Click
Two questions:
1) Under what circumstances does the LostFocus event occur on a form. I want to execute some code as soon as another application is made active but the LostFocus event doesn't seem to do this. In other words, I would like to execute some code as soon as another application becomes active. For example, if I was in my program and suddenly switched over to Notepad, I want to execute some code. How to do it?
2) This one a little more complicated. How can I set up a loop within my program that is only executed when the user clicks the mouse button?
Thanks,

Mouse Click Event
1.) I can't seem to find code for the mouse click event for anywhere that a user clicks on a form, including textboxes, listboxes, and buttons. I am trying to code for a log out method for my pos program. If a user clicks anywhere on the form, I will have a timer to go on, and after 2 minutes, if the position is still the same, the pos will log out to the original log in screen. This will help to prevent other users from getting on another user's account that has been left on. I don't need any other code except that of how to detect what position the mouse is at after it is clicked anywhere on the screen.
2.) The code will have to detect for any form other than the main screen, so I'm guessing some type of global code here. Would I have a way of just putting the code into a module and referencing it instead of copying the code for every form?
Much Appreciated,
Zack
Mouse Click Event
I have an application which includes a frame on which is placed a number of command buttons. When a button on the main form is pressed the frame becomes visible and when a button on the frame is pressed the frame becomes invisible.
What I am looking for is a way of detecting a mouse click on any other part of the main form (or one of its components) while the frame is visible to indicate that the frame is no longer required and will then become invisible. I need this frame to function similar to a pull down menu which will disappear if you click on any other object, but will activate the selected fuction if that is pressed.
Simulate A Mouse Click Event
Hello, is it possible that when i press a button it reactes the same as i would have clicked with my mouse on it? I tried MouseDown, things like that but i guess its a little bit harder than that.
Capture A Mouse Click Event
I have a login form with two fields, UserID and Password (duh !!)
It also has two controls, OK and CANCEL.
I also have a routine in the code that calls a message box routine if the UserID loses focus that activates if there is no UserID is entered (UserID="").
Is there a way to capture the mouse click on the CANCEL control that will set a flag or some other way bypass the LostFocus routine?
Thank you,

Failure Of Mouse Click Event
I am working on a project that depends on obtaining real-time data from a web site. When I go to this web site, I must first log in. I am then at a page where I must choose (by mouse click) one of three options. This choice takes me to a page where again I have numerous choices to make before arriving at the page which contains the data I want. I am attempting to obtain this data programmatically rather than visually.
My approach to the project follows. The project is still in design mode so I have broken it into several steps which I will later combine. I have at this point a form containing a web browser, two command buttons and a text box. When I start the project the web browser navigates to the desired web page. Since I must log in and since the log in text boxes are not visible on my browser I click the click the first command button which is captioned “Log In”. The click event code uses the mouse event API to first move the cursor to the down arrow of the web browser scroll bar, and then click the required number of times (predetermined) to bring the log in textbox into view. The cursor then moves and clicks to bring focus to the textbox. The keyboard event API is then used to enter my personal data, after which the browser navigates to the next page. At the present state of development of the project I now manually choose between the 3 options bringing up the page with numerous choices. I now click the 2nd command button which is captioned “Get Active Choices”. This click event first gets the HTML behind this page by using the command: WebBrowser1.Document.body.innerHTML. By studying the patterns of this HTML I am able to see the pattern when choices are active and by previous visual inspection of the page I have programmed the number of clicks on the scrollbar and the location of where to click on the page in order to bring up the page where the data I want is. When I have this page I can get the desired data by the method of decoding the HTML.
After this detailed description we come to the problem. After I click on the “Get Active Choices” command button, the cursor does move to the scroll bar location but it either does not click, or the scroll bar does react to the click. Consequently when the cursor moves over (and clicks – maybe) the predetermined position on the browser page it is not over and clicking on the embedded button --- it does not navigate to the right page and I don’t get my data. I emphasize that the first time I used this process by clicking on the “Log In” button it works fine –the scroll bar moves down and I can see the page move down.
This is added as perhaps a clue. In an attempt to solve the problem on my own (an attempt now over 12 hours long) I added a third button to the form with the code shown below. When I click on this button the scroll bar does move down – that is , it works!!!! If I put a stop at end sub it does not work although all of the code occurs before the stop. Can it see the future?? Thanks in advance
Code:Private Sub Command3_Click()
Const MOUSEEVENTF_MOVE = &H1
Const MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN = &H2
Const MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP = &H4
Const MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE = &H8000
XPosition = 1460 * 65535 / 1600
YPosition = 842 * 65535 / 1200
'move mouse to down arrow position
mouse_event MOUSEEVENTF_MOVE Or MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE, XPosition, YPosition, 0, 0
'click mouse 12 times
For m = 1 To 12
mouse_event MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTDOWN Or MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE, 0, 0, 0, 0
mouse_event MOUSEEVENTF_LEFTUP Or MOUSEEVENTF_ABSOLUTE, 0, 0, 0, 0
Next m

Button Mouse Click Event
Hi,
Can two Forms (Form1 & Form2 with Command1 & Command2 BUTTONS on each Form) be set to display (visible) at same time, & to enable EITHER of the two buttons be clicked thus firing Command1_Click () / Command2_Click () ?? Or must one be set to have the focus? Doesnt moving the mouse over the buttons & clicking the mouse automatically gives the button covered the focus?
Also, is there corresponding Registry ACTIVEX API functions to the Webbrowser Control Events module, ie without using Webbrowser Event Control package?
Please provide brief sample codes if possible.

Why Mouse_Move Returns Mouse Click Event?

Thank you in advance.

Combo Box Click Event
Hi,
I have a form that contains 2 combo boxes. At the click of either combo boxes, the values from the database should be loaded accordingly.
However, I found that at the point of form_load event, loading the values of the combo boxes trigger the combobox_click event. Hence, when loading the 2nd combo box, it will trigger an error which says "text is read only property"
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Set objServer = New clsServer
ClearAllFields
Set tbsOptions.SelectedItem = tbsOptions.Tabs(1)
Set rs = objServer.RetrieveRec()
With comboPassportID
.List(0) = defCboStr
.Text = .List(0)
Do Until rs.EOF 'this triggers the click event in comboPassportID
.AddItem rs("passport_id")
rs.MoveNext
Loop
End With
Set rs = objServer.RetrieveRec()
With comboFirstName
.List(0) = defCboStr
.Text = .List(0)
Do Until rs.EOF 'this triggers the click event in comboFirstName
.AddItem rs("first_name")
rs.MoveNext
Loop
End With
End Sub
Private Sub comboPassportID_Click()
Dim str As String
If comboPassportID.Text = "Select One" Then
Exit Sub
Else
Set rs = objServer.RetrieveRec(comboPassportID.Text)
comboFirstName.Text = rs("first_name")
comboLastName.Text = rs("last_name")
str = rs("ctry_code")
comboNationality.Text = objServer.ReturnValue("Country", str)
txtAddress.Text = TrapNull(rs("addr"))
txtCity.Text = TrapNull(rs("cty"))
txtState.Text = TrapNull(rs("stt"))
txtZipCode.Text = TrapNull(rs("zip"))
txtContactNo.Text = rs("cnt_num")
txtMobileNo.Text = TrapNull(rs("mbl_num"))
txtFaxNo.Text = TrapNull(rs("fax_num"))
txtEmail.Text = TrapNull(rs("eml"))
txtCompanyName.Text = TrapNull(rs("org_name"))
txtFlightNo.Text = TrapNull(rs("flt_num"))
Set rs = Nothing
End If
End Sub
Private Sub comboFirstName_Click()
If comboFirstName.Text <> "Select One" Then
Exit Sub
Else
comboLastName.Clear
Set rs = objServer.RetrieveRec(comboFirstName.Text)
With comboLastName
.List(0) = defCboStr
' .ListIndex = 0
.Text = .List(0)
Do Until rs.EOF
.AddItem rs("last_name")
rs.MoveNext
Loop
End With
Set rs = Nothing
End If
End Sub
Is there any way in which I can maybe detect a form_load event and prevent the click event of the combo boxes being triggered?
Thanks.

Combo Click Event
Hi,
This code is initally put under my combo click event, is there anywhere else I can place this code other than click event. This code is to check the status of the car when user click on the combo key.
VB Code:
If Cbo_Reg.Text <> "Select Car Reg No" Then sql = "SELECT DISTINCT * FROM CarDetails WHERE CarRegNo='" & Cbo_Reg.Text & "'" rs.Open sql, cn, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic, adCmdText If rs("Status") = "Available" Then 'Rent car to customer ElseIf rs("Status") = "On Rent" Then Cancel = True MsgBox "Car is on rent now" & vbCrLf & "Please reselect a Car Reg no", vbCritical, "Invaild Selection" ElseIf rs("Status") = "On Reservation" Then Cancel = True MsgBox "Car is on Reservation now" & vbCrLf & "Please reselect a Car Reg no", vbCritical, "Invaild Selection" End If
Combo Box Click Event.
Ok if I do:
VB Code:
Private Sub ChangeIndex(ByVal plngIndex As Long) cboUsers.ListIndex = plngIndexEnd Sub
Then the Click event fires...except if the plngIndex = -1...
And yes, I know I can do:
VB Code:
Private Sub ChangeIndex(ByVal plngIndex As Long) cboUsers.ListIndex = plngIndex If plngIndex = -1 Then Call cboUsers_Click() End IfEnd Sub
But that is crappy code
And NO, I am not subclassing it

Combo Box Click Event
If I'm not wrong, combo box click event must only triggered when the user
clicks on the combo box. But something unsual is happening with my code.
combo box click:
Private Sub cboTrack_Click()
'do something here
End Sub
Private Sub Example()
cboTrack.Text = cboTrack.List(0) '<========= 'I have a breakpoint
here
End Example
Whenever the control is done with;
cboTrack.Text = cboTrack.List(0) '<========= 'I have a breakpoint
here
it goes to combo box click event. But i haven't called it and have no
intension of doing it either.
Is there a way to stop VB to go to combo box click event ofcourse without
deleting the event itself?
Thanks,
Simon

How To Capture Mouse-click Event For A Paragraph In MS WORD.
Friends,
Some of the buttons in MS office toolbars have additional functionality when you double click them.. e.g. Format painter button in Word. When this button is double clicked it stays selected and subsequent document clicks are captured and the selected word/sentence are formatted. I want to make a similar button which remains pressed when it is double clicked and then inserts a word at the curser position whenever i click the document.
Would be glad if someone helps me in this.

Combo Box Click Event Problems
Hi there,
I am having some problems with a combo box operating style 2 which makes the combo box act like a list box. The problem i'm having is that if I tab to the control then use the arrows keys to select the item i want it executes the click event instead of the keypress event, is it something I am doing wrong?
Cheers

Preventing Combo Box Click Event
I have 8 combo boxes on a form. They all contain the same (dynamically generated data). The list in each combo box might look like:
1
2
3
4
10
11
When you select say '4' from one of them - '4' disappears from the others. If you change your mind it goes back.
I have done this using an array that holds all the info which (sort of) looks like this:
Text---ComboBox----Selected---Show
1----------0------------0--------1
2----------0------------0--------1
3----------0------------1--------1
4----------0------------0--------1
10---------0------------0--------0
11---------0------------0--------1
1----------1------------0--------1
2----------1------------0--------1
3----------1------------0--------0
4----------1------------0--------1
10---------1------------1--------1
11---------1------------0--------1
etc
Each time an item in one of the combo boxes is selected I update the array and then clear the combos and rebuild them.
In the example above the first combo box in the control array is showing '3' and does not have '10' in the list.
The second combo box is showing '10' and does not have '3' in the list.
This bit all works fine.
What I can't get working is setting the listindexes again.
As soon as I write:
Combo1(0).ListIndex = 2
The Combo1_Click(Index as Integer) fires again and an endless loop is set off.
So I have my combo boxes all built with the right things in the list but I can't set the ListIndex to show what was selected!
Can I cancel the event somehow when the line ...
Combo1(0).ListIndex = 2
executes?
Thanks for any help. Hope this is clear.

Click Event In Combo When Value Is Changed
Hello,
I've got a form with a few combo boxes on it. The style of the boxes is set to "2 - Dropdown List"
in some other code i set the value of the comboboxes to something: eg
combo1.text = "hi there"
but when i do this it fires off the "click" event of the combo box (which does a whole heap of other processing that i don't want to do unless the user itself clicks the combo box - not when i change it programatically).
Is there a way to avoid the click event firing when the text of the combo box is set from within the code. I still want it to happen when the user actually clicks the combo.
Thanks - it's a bit important
if i'm not being clear then ask me - i'll explain better.

Combo Box, Set Value And Click Event Problem
Hello again everyone
A quick question and hopefully a particularly easy one.
Is there an event that will tell me when the user has changed the value within a combo box which will not be raised if I change the combo boxes value within my code? I currently use the Click event but this is both raised by the user but also by my code when it changes the combo box value.
Thanks
Christopher
P.S. I have included some simple code to display my problem, you just need to add a combo box and timer to a new form and then add the following code. (I know it is very simple but I just wanted something that showed my problem. )
Code:
Option Explicit
Private iChangeValue As Integer
Private Sub Combo1_Click()
MsgBox "I have been clicked, or so I think anyway!"
End Sub
Private Sub Form_Load()
' Lets state the obvious!!
Combo1.AddItem "Scotland"
Combo1.AddItem "Is"
Combo1.AddItem "Very"
Combo1.AddItem "Wet"
Combo1.AddItem "Just"
Combo1.AddItem "Now!"
Timer1.Enabled = True
iChangeValue = 1
End Sub
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
Combo1.ListIndex = Combo1.ListIndex + iChangeValue
If ((Combo1.ListIndex = (Combo1.ListCount - 1)) Or (Combo1.ListIndex = -1)) Then
iChangeValue = iChangeValue * -1
End If
End Sub
