Double Click

Is there a way to detect if you click on an object with both mousebuttons, like in minesweep to open all the surrounding spot?

yes, if you use MouseDown or MouseMove, the variable 'Button' is 3 if both buttons are pressed

If that's true, why doesn't the following code ever produce a msgbox?

Code:

---

Private Sub Command1_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
    If Button = 3 Then
        MsgBox ""
    End If
End Sub

I testet it, and the mousdown event does not respond to double clicking....but you can make two variable LeftButton and RightButton, and check if both of them are true...

Something like this....

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
Dim leftButton As Boolean
Dim rightButton As Boolean
 
 
Private Sub Form_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
    
    If Button = 1 Then
        leftButton = True
    ElseIf Button = 2 Then
        rightButton = True
    End If
    
    If leftButton = True And rightButton = True Then
        Text1.Text = True
    End If
    
End Sub
 
Private Sub Form_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
    
    If Button = 1 Then
        leftButton = False
    ElseIf Button = 2 Then
        rightButton = False
    End If
    
    If leftButton = False Or rightButton = False Then
        Text1.Text = False
    End If
    
End Sub
