StatusBar DoubleClick event

[MadJock]

Hi,

I currently have a status bar in my windows form. The status bar has three panels. I would like to perform a task when the user double clicks on the third panel.

I've looked at the StatusBar_DoubleClick event but cannot tell how to determine within this which panel the click originated from (the sender is the statusbar itself and the SystemEventArgs are empty).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Graeme

Answer to my own question:

Trap the status bar's 'PanelClick' event and store which panel was clicked. Then when you trap the double click, you already know which panel the double click took place in.

Example:

public class MyForm : System.Windows.Forms.Form

  private int _clickedPanel;

  // ....

  private void myStatusBar_PanelClick(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.StatusBarPanelClickEventArgs e){
    _clickedPanel = sbBOSS.Panels.IndexOf(e.StatusBarPanel);
  }  

  private void myStatusBar_DoubleClick(object sender, System.EventArgs e){
    MessageBox.Show("You clicked panel " + _clickedPanel.ToString());
  }
}

interesting solution, I was going to suggest using the mouse pos to determine which panel the pointer was over. I like your solution better!
