Mousedown feature on a Pic Box added via controls.add? {RESOLVED}

Hello,

I have this code here to create a PictureBox when the user clicks a cmd button.

Here is the code:

VB Code:

Private Sub mnuPopCopy_Click()
    
    Dim mobjPicture As PictureBox
    If shpCrop.Visible = False Then Exit Sub
    
    Set mobjPicture = Controls.Add("VB.PictureBox", "Pic")
 
    With mobjPicture
        .Width = intWidth
        .Height = intHeight
        .AutoSize = True
        .AutoRedraw = True
        .Visible = True
        .Left = Picture1.Left
        .Top = Picture1.Top
    End With
    
    mobjPicture.PaintPicture Picture1.Picture, 0, 0, , , intLeft, intTop
    
    Clipboard.Clear
    Clipboard.SetData mobjPicture.Image
 
    Picture1.Visible = False
 
    shpCrop.Visible = False
    Set mobjPicture = Nothing
    
    
End Sub

Now what I need to do is get it so that once this picture box is loaded I want it to have this code.

VB Code:

Private Sub mobjPicture_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, x As Single, y As Single)
MsgBox "YES!"
End Sub

However even with this code, when I click on the new pic box nothing happens.

Does anyone know how to fix that?

Thank you and have a great day! :thumb:

Declare your object variable in form's general section (instead of locally) using WithEvents keyword:

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
Dim WithEvents mobjPicture As PictureBox

Hmm no go. That didn't work either. Nothing happens when I click on the newly created pic box.

Here is the project if you wanna have a look I will rate you!

Thank you so much!

Well the project works for me just the way it is :ehh:

Well, the project did not work for me. The reason, you set the mobjPicture variable to nothing in the mnuPopCopy_Click event. Remove that line of code.

aaHaaa! Brilliant bruceVB!!!! Your great thank you so much! :thumb:

Thank you all for your responses and help!
