The name of a MouseEvents object. NB: object must be declared using WithEvents. |
| Window |
The window in which the mouse button was pressed. |
| Button |
A value indicating which button was pressed. Can be one of
vbLeftButton, vbMiddleButton, vbRightButton. |
| Shift |
A boolean value indicating the state of the shift button. A vale
of True indicates that the shift key is down. |
| Control |
A boolean value indicating the state of the ctrl button. A vale of
True indicates that the ctrl key is down. |
| x |
The x coordinate of the mouse pointer, in client coordinates
(pixels). May be negative, if the mouse is over the border or
caption of a top-level or mdi child window. |
| y |
The y coordinate of the mouse pointer, in client coordinates
(pixels). May be negative, if the mouse is over the border or
caption of a top-level or mdi child window. |
| Cancel |
A boolean value that determines whether Window will receive the
MouseDown event. Setting Cancel to True prevents the
event from being passed on. |

event followed by a MouseUp event within the same window. Cancelling the
MouseDown event will cancel the Click event.
