Determine whether control or attached label was clicked 1

[faeryfyrre]

Hi,
Assume i have a textbox with an attached label. How can i determine whether the label or control was clicked. Ordinarily, Access just assumes the textbox was clicked, but i need to determine where the click happened.

For reasons i won't go into, the label needs to be attached to the textbox so unbinding the label and having a seperate click event for the label isn't an option.

Any insight will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

The only way you can do it is to use the MouseDown Event. and check the X or Y arguments passed to the event. These values represent the position of the mouse cursor. So if you label is to left of the textbox the X value will be a negative number, or if the label is above the textbox the Y value will be negative.

HTH,

Dean.
