Forcing a mouse click??

[goatsaregreat]

I need to be able to force a left-click. I want it so that even if I right-click, it is registered as a left-click. Thenks for the prompt help!!

If you want this to happen for your application that you wrote, you can subclass the control or form to trap and discard certain messages like the wm_lbuttonclick (something like that).

You could also ignore it in the mouse down event.

Also, do a search on the SetKeyboardState api. I believe there are related functions that may help you.

Private Sub Form_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
' execute events
End Sub

Button is the vari. for the mouse 1 = left, 2 = right.

I knew that the "Button" parameter was for the mouse, but I can't get anything to work. For instance, I have a grid that I want to register a left-click, no matter what. I can't seem to get it to register a left if I right-click. Does that make sense? I have tried

If button = 2 then button = 1

but this line of code, when placed in the mousedown event is too late. It is already registered as a right-click. :-( TIA for your continued help.

Does the same thing happen with _Click() event when no arguments are passed ?

P.S. what grid are you using ?
