Check the e.X and e.Y values generated by the form.mouseclick event.
want to find which control is selected
Click to expand...

If you want "global" handler then you could do a recursive search for
controls on the form, and use addhandler to map the control.GotFocus()
event to the method you want to handle the gotfocus events. Let me know
if you need some code.

Here you go - I wrote this in a hurry so be careful!

<pseudocode>

Private Sub MapControls(ByVal container As
Windows.Forms.Control.ControlCollection)
For Each c As Control In container
AddHandler c.MouseDown, AddressOf HandleMouseDown
If c.Controls.Count > 0 Then
MapControls(c.Controls)
End If
Next
End Sub

Private Sub HandleMouseDown(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e
As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles
ProductionName.MouseDown
MsgBox("X:" & e.X & " Y:" & e.Y)
End Sub

</pseudocode>

Thanks,

i m not able to figure out what is ProductionName

It's a textbox that lists the name of the Production Contact in the
project I was working on when you posted last! :-)

Anyways, just get rid of that entire handles statement - it shouldn't
be there. (at least I tagged the code as pseudocode). I just chose a
textbox on my form and selected the mouseclick event for in order to
autogenerate the code. Sorry about that!

Thanks,
