[RESOLVED] [VS2005/CE] How to determine is mouse click was on a label

[Fromethius]

Nevermind, I have no clue. lol

Ok - I'm trying to use MOUSEPOSITION.X and .Y in the FORM_CLICK event and comparing it to a LABEL TOP/LEFT/WIDTH and HEIGHT.

And apparently the MOUSEPOSITION includes the "top line" of the form but the x/y of the label does not include that area.

Any ideas on how to measure or realize the size of the top bar on the form?

I started using the MOUSEDOWN event - it's working much better.

    Private Sub APC_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Click
        Label.Text = MousePosition.X.ToString & " " & MousePosition.Y.ToString
    End Sub

    Private Sub APC_MouseDown(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles MyBase.MouseDown
        lblStatus.Text = e.X.ToString & " " & e.Y.ToString
    End Sub

The _CLICK takes into account the "top bar" and the _MOUSEDOWN is the useable area of the FORM - and that's what the label placement is based on.
