[Solved] Closing Application on Mouse Click

Hi Guys,

I found this small code to create a simple black windows to cover my screen.

Code:

---

Public Class BS

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Me.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterScreen
        Me.FormBorderStyle = Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None
        Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
        Me.BackColor = Color.Black
        System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Hide()
    End Sub
End Class

---

I would really like to close it on a simple left mouse click.

I tried to work this out with a couple of google suggestions, but I have no experience in vb so im consulting for help here.

Thanks in advance.

you need to handle the MouseClick event:

vb.net Code:

Public Class BS
 
    Private Sub BS_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Me.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterScreen
        Me.FormBorderStyle = Windows.Forms.FormBorderStyle.None
        Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized
        Me.BackColor = Color.Black
        System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Hide()
    End Sub
 
    Private Sub BS_MouseClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Me.MouseClick
        If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Left Then
            Application.Exit()
        End If
    End Sub
 
End Class

Thank you for your help paul. Works like a charm.

I tried this kind of mouse click event, but, as i see the differences, failed at some details ;)
