public:
event System::Windows::Forms::MouseEventHandler ^ MouseDown;

Public Custom Event MouseDown As MouseEventHandler
Event Type
Examples
The following code example demonstrates the use of this member. In the example, an event handler reports on the occurrence of the MouseDown event. This report helps you to learn when the event occurs and can assist you in debugging. To report on multiple events or on events that occur frequently, consider replacing MessageBox.Show with Console.WriteLine or appending the message to a multiline TextBox.
To run the example code, paste it into a project that contains an instance of a type that inherits from ToolStripItem, such as a ToolStripButton or ToolStripMenuItem. Then name the instance ToolStripItem1
and ensure that the event handler is associated with the MouseDown event.
private void ToolStripItem1_MouseDown(Object sender, MouseEventArgs e) {
System.Text.StringBuilder messageBoxCS = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
messageBoxCS.AppendFormat("{0} = {1}", "Button", e.Button );
messageBoxCS.AppendLine();
messageBoxCS.AppendFormat("{0} = {1}", "Clicks", e.Clicks );
messageBoxCS.AppendLine();
messageBoxCS.AppendFormat("{0} = {1}", "X", e.X );
messageBoxCS.AppendLine();
messageBoxCS.AppendFormat("{0} = {1}", "Y", e.Y );
messageBoxCS.AppendLine();
messageBoxCS.AppendFormat("{0} = {1}", "Delta", e.Delta );
messageBoxCS.AppendLine();
messageBoxCS.AppendFormat("{0} = {1}", "Location", e.Location );
messageBoxCS.AppendLine();
MessageBox.Show(messageBoxCS.ToString(), "MouseDown Event" );
}
Private Sub ToolStripItem1_MouseDown(sender as Object, e as MouseEventArgs) _
Handles ToolStripItem1.MouseDown
Dim messageBoxVB as New System.Text.StringBuilder()
messageBoxVB.AppendFormat("{0} = {1}", "Button", e.Button)
messageBoxVB.AppendLine()
messageBoxVB.AppendFormat("{0} = {1}", "Clicks", e.Clicks)
messageBoxVB.AppendLine()
messageBoxVB.AppendFormat("{0} = {1}", "X", e.X)
messageBoxVB.AppendLine()
messageBoxVB.AppendFormat("{0} = {1}", "Y", e.Y)
messageBoxVB.AppendLine()
messageBoxVB.AppendFormat("{0} = {1}", "Delta", e.Delta)
messageBoxVB.AppendLine()
messageBoxVB.AppendFormat("{0} = {1}", "Location", e.Location)
messageBoxVB.AppendLine()
MessageBox.Show(messageBoxVB.ToString(),"MouseDown Event")
End Sub
