Private sub text1_DblClick()

End sub
Ú uouse Down Event ::
rThis event is triggered when user presses any mouse button
and remains in the pressed state, i.e. button is not released!

Private Sub Command1_uouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift

As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Label1.Caption = "mouse down!!"
End Sub
Ú uouse Up Event ::
rThis event is triggered when user presses and then releases
any mouse button!

Private Sub Command1_uouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As

Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)

Label1.Caption = "mouse UP !!"

End Sub
Ú uouse move event ::
r This event is triggered when user moves mouse pointer to
another location on the screen..

Private Sub Command1_uouseuove(Button As Integer, Shift

As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Label1.Caption = "mouse u
ING .....!!"
End Sub
Ú Drag ver and Drag Drop ::
r Dragging is pressing the mouse button i.e. should remain in
pressed state move the control anywhere on the form «
rDrag ver :: When this dragged button is 
  
  , ³Drag over´ event occurs«
rDrag Drop :: when mouse button is   
  
  it is know as dropped and ³drag Drop´ event is
triggered.
rThis dragging and dropping occurs at r
not at
design time!
rDragging and dropping the controls does not change the
location of the control, its just that we can perform some
action when user performs it!
Ú Dragmode property ::
r By default for all objects Dragmode property is set to value
± 0- uANUAL
r Change it to ± 1- automatic«

Why so??
r For any object ! 

  
that
object can not be dragged anywhere! 





r When its automatic, dragging and dropping is allowed!
Ú _eyboard events occurs when input is
giventhrough keyboard.

Ú For example pressing a key on keyboard

triggers ³key press´ event «

Ú As per the key pressed, different keyboard

events are triggered and , they are supported by

1) _ey down Event ::
r this event is triggered when user presses arrow key on the
keyboard, i.e. it should remain in the pressed state.
2) _ey Up Event ::
r This event is triggered when user presses and releases
any key on the keyboard !
3) _ey Press Event ::
r This event occurs when user presses any key on
keyboard.
Private Sub Text1__eyPress(_eyAscii As Integer)
Label1.Caption = "key pressed in text box "
End Sub
1) _ey press event works when any key pressed!!
2) _ey Down works only when arrow key is
pressed..[ not released! ]
3) _ey down again works for all keys.. [key pressed
and released! ]
