Catch child control mouse events

Hi,

How to catch a child control mouse events in the parent
object. For example if I have a container and a text box
placed on it, How I can catch the mouse right click event
in the container before it goes to the edit box.

Thanks

Hi Arafat
In VFP8 you could set up a link from the TextBox.RightClick or MouseDown
event to a custom method in the the container, using the BINDEVENT()
function. TRhe RightClick only occurs when the mouse button is released over
the object.

You could set up your superclasses to bubble up the containership, then only
object-specific right-click's need to be coded otherwise. e.g.

** in any superclass RightClick
If Type("this.parent")=="O" ;
And PEMStatus(this.parent, "RightClick", 5)
this.parent.RightClick()
EndIf
