Click

This event occurs when a user presses and then releases the button of mouse device over an object. It also occurs when you change the value of a control.

Syntax

Private Sub object_Click( )

Parameters

object

Object expression that evaluates to a control or Form object.

Remarks

If the Click event contains code, the Click event intercepts the click of the mouse device, and the DblClick event does not occur.

For a Form object, the DlbClick event occurs when the user chooses either a blank area or a disabled control. For an intrinsic control, this event occurs when the user performs any of the following actions:

• Clicks a control with the left or right button of a mouse device. With a CheckBox, CommandButton, Listbox, or OptionButton control, the Click event occurs only when the user clicks the left button of a mouse device.
• Chooses an item in a ComboBox or ListBox control, either by pressing the arrow keys or by clicking a button on a mouse device.
• Presses the SPACEBAR when a CommandButton, OptionButton, or CheckBox control has the focus.
• Presses ENTER when a form has a CommandButton control with its Default property set to True.
• Presses ESC when a form has a Cancel button—a CommandButton control with its Cancel property set to True.
• Presses an access key for a control. For example, if the caption of a CommandButton control is &Go, pressing ALT+G initiates the event.

You also can initiate the Click event in code by performing the following actions:

• Set the Value property of a CommandButton control to True.
• Set the Value property of an OptionButton control to True.
• Change the Value property setting of a CheckBox control.
• Choose a menu item.
