Hit test on a line

[Banger77]

I have got a collection of lines on a form each called Line1(i), I want to be able to click the mouse on one of the lines and be able to retrieve properties about this line. Can this be done and if it can, how do i do it?? help somebody, please

I really don't know, it's just an idea:

Dim A As Long

'X and Y are the mouse coordinates
For A = 0 to Line1.Count - 1
  If (Y-Line1(A).Y1) / (X-Line1(A).X1) = (Line1(A).Y2-Y) / (Line1(A).X2-X) Then
    'Mouse is on line
  EndIf
Next

I think it should work... try it out

Uh sorry,

I just tested my code and it works only for lines from top-left to lower-right... anyway, hope I helped ya (I'm sure you can modify the code for the other destinations)
