Capturing mouse/keyboard events outside of form (app running in background)
(2 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
This might be a common question but I've been searching for almost 30 minutes, and couldn't find what I've been looking for.
In a windows forms application I need to capture the mouse click event both on and outside of the current form. But all the click events that I've come across are attached to the controls, hence when I click outside of the form no event is being fired :/
I am guessing there is a static Mouse object somewhere and I should be able to get the mouse click position maybe?
This is often referred as global mouse hook.

Winforms Button Right-Click visual feedback (Show button in pushed state)
(1 answer)
Closed 5 years ago.
I'Ve got a winform application where specific Buttons should be visibly pressed whenever a specific key is pressed.
Capturing the key is not so much a Problem, but I did not find a method that allowed me to make it visible that a specific button as been "pressed".
(Even with button1.PerformClick() there was no visualization of the "click").
Is there any way to accomplish this?
You can use Control.Select() to activate the control.

Mouse movement capture

I am trying to track mouse movements in my code. It's easy to track mouse movements in form window but i wanted to track mouse movements outside of my from window. i mean i will minimize my from to tray and track where it is. Any idea how to track mouse movemtns outside of my form windows with sample codes or sample explanation links? I am using c# and i would like to know how. Thanks for your help.
For form windows i tried this link and it works perfectly.
What i want.
I want to get to know when user move mouse left to right or right to left and show message about warning.
I want my application as a service (actually its not so neccessary if you can help on form application it will be fair enough too) and startup with os. and track mouse movements and catch if user move his/her mouse left to right or right to left. Thats it. I hope this edit will be very specific explanation.
To do this properly, I think you will need to use global hooks. This seems nice and is C# managed code.

How can I create a click event on a custom user control?
(3 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
I have created some User Controls to be used like buttons. The problem, is that UserControl doesn't have the Click event, only the MouseLeftClickDown and MouseLeftClickUp.
Both events are great for triggers and visual animations, but I really need the Click event.
For example, I have a user control for closing the window. If i use the MouseLeftClickUp event to close the window, the window will close when the user does a mouseleftclickdown in any part of the window, and releases in the usercontrol. This is not safe.
I know this question has been asked a few times, but I haven't found any good answer yet. Is there any simple way to achieve this? I´m really trying to avoid Custom controls, as I don't fully understand them. I´m just starting with WPF.
You can create your own routed event, or I think you can use Button.Click in your UserControl XAML as an attribute. Don't quote me on that, I've seen it somewhere.

Disable a right click (press and hold) in WPF application.
(2 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
I am building a wpf app for a touch screen for windows 8 and I need to disable touch&hold (the equivalent of right click). I have read at the remarks on this link http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.uielement.previewtouchdown.aspx that pressing a finger on the screen and holding it without moving it causes the press and hold behavior of a Stylus. Unfortunately, right click was not disabled by setting Stylus.IsPressAndHoldEnabled="False" in the XAML.
Could you please help me disable it? Thank you in advance :)
You can write event handler for OnPreviewMouseRightButtonDown event and set the value of isHandled to true.

How can I add moving effects to my controls in C#?
I'm work on on a C# WinForms project, and I created a login form.
I want when I click in a link in this login form to make the controls in the login form to disappear sidely (like the effect in iPad when you move your finger on it) and other controls to be appeared .
Is there any chance to make this possible (using WinForm)?
