UIElement..::.ReleaseMouseCapture Method

Removes mouse capture from a UIElement. After this call, typically no object holds mouse capture.

Namespace: System.Windows
Assembly: System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)

Public Sub ReleaseMouseCapture

Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim instance As UIElement

instance.ReleaseMouseCapture()

public void ReleaseMouseCapture()

Remarks

The ReleaseMouseCapture method disables mouse capture for an object that has captured the mouse by using the CaptureMouse method. When an object has captured the mouse, it receives mouse input whether or not the mouse pointer is within its bounds.

Calling ReleaseMouseCapture on an object that did not have mouse capture has no effect.

Platforms
