Control.OnMouseDown Method (System.Windows.Forms)

.NET Framework Class Library

Control..::.OnMouseDown Method

Raises the MouseDown event.

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

Protected Overridable Sub OnMouseDown ( _
	e As MouseEventArgs _
)

protected virtual void OnMouseDown(
	MouseEventArgs e
)

protected:
virtual void OnMouseDown(
	MouseEventArgs^ e
)

abstract OnMouseDown : 
        e:MouseEventArgs -> unit 
override OnMouseDown : 
        e:MouseEventArgs -> unit

Parameters

e: Type: System.Windows.Forms..::.MouseEventArgs
A MouseEventArgs that contains the event data.

Remarks

Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate. For more information, see Raising an Event.

The OnMouseDown method also allows derived classes to handle the event without attaching a delegate. This is the preferred technique for handling the event in a derived class.

Notes to Inheritors

When overriding OnMouseDown in a derived class, be sure to call the base class's OnMouseDown method so that registered delegates receive the event.
