Visual Basic, label click event only works with right mouse click

label click event only works with right mouse click

KnowZo #1 / 3	label click event only works with right mouse click New to vb, not to programming. I'm building a simple form to display a running clock. I want to click the label box (showing the time display itself) to toggle between having the seconds displayed or not. It works, but with the right mouse click, not the left as I expected. If I add a command button to toggle the clock display, it works as expected with a left mouse click. Is there a property somewhere for labels that I'm overlooking? I'm baffled. Can you point me to the answer? Thanks.

This is fired for labels (as for everything) by either the left or right buttons, so it should work either way. I would suggest temporarily using the Label's MouseDown event instead. This event allows you to detect which button has been depressed. You can arrange only to respond to the left button. See if this works. Maybe the best bet is to post the relevant code here, it may be you have overlooked something. Chrisitna -- Christina West

David Ma #3 / 3	label click event only works with right mouse click If you're using the click event it doesn't matter which button you click as it doesn't discriminate between the two. However if you're using either mousedown or mouseup then the button variable tells you which button you've clicked. Might be worth you posting the code module involved (including the sub and end sub lines) so we can have a better idea of what you've done.
