How can I detect if a label has been klicked on another form?

How can I detect if a labael has been klicked on another form?

I think the code should go somthing like this, but anything helps.

Code:

---

If frmForm2.lblLabel.click then 'this is the part im having problem with
goto 1
else
do nothing
end if

---

Thanks in advance

Ok, I have given this a quick test, and this works,
however, it can only work if you can get hwnd of the object
that you would like to have respond. Basically what you
need to do is subclass the form that you wish to get a
response from. Now since the Label control does not have
an hwnd, you should instead us the Textbox control. You
can lock the text, change the background color, and remove
the boarder and make it look just like a label. Anyway,
here you go.

And this is the code that you would put into the form that has the textbox that you want to know when is clicked.

Code:

---


Private Sub Form_Load()
Call HookWindow(Form2.hWnd, Text1.hWnd)
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
'Make sure you unhook the window, otherwise you will
'cause many errors, and will loss much work.
'Make sure you save often.

Call UnHookWindow(Form2.hWnd)

End Sub

---

And that should do it. Now my test project had two forms: Form1 and Form2. When form1 loaded, form2 also loaded. Since I don't know exactly what you are doing, I can only guess as to how it might look.

Hope this is helpful.

(Using VB6 SP4)

Here's an easier way:

Code:

---

'Form1 code
Private WithEvents LabelInForm2 As Label

Private Form_Load()
    Set LabelInForm2 = frmForm2.lblLabel
    'other code goes here
End Sub

Private Sub LabelInForm2_Click()
    MsgBox "You have just clicked on the Label in frmForm2"
End Sub

Good luck!
