Is there a command for left mouse button

[Pete Mann]

Hi
Could anyone tell me if there is a command which will recongnise a simple
mouse click anywhere on the screen, I can do it ok for a command box etc etc
but would like to be able to simply click a mouse button from anywhere on
the screen.
Thanking You In Advanced
Pete

The form has a click event.
or maybe Screen.activeco ntrol might be helpful.

Re: Is there a command for left mouse button

If you call the SetCapture API prior to your mouse leaving the form, any
subsequent mouse input will be directed to the form, not to the application
you click. By testing the screen coordinates of the rodent in relation to
the form you can determine if the click occurred outside the form's client
area. Be sure to call ReleaseCapture when you're done to restore normal
mouse action.
