MouseDown, MouseUp Events -- Macros

Description

To run a macro when the MouseDown or MouseUp event occurs, set the OnMouseDown or OnMouseUp event property to the name of the macro.

Remarks

You can use a MouseDown or MouseUp macro to respond whenever the user presses or releases a mouse button in a form or control. However, macros can’t return the button code and determine which mouse button was pressed, so you typically use event procedures with this event.

You can’t use the CancelEvent action in a MouseDown or MouseUp macro, with one exception: You can use the CancelEvent action in a MouseDown macro to cancel the event that occurs when you press the right mouse button. For example, you can cancel the display of a shortcut menu and display your own custom shortcut menu.
