    Re: MouseUp in ActiveX - works in IDE but not in exe

    @Jonny: Ok I will try the Logging thing and other stuff you said, I will have to figure out a way for that, new concept for me.

    @WOF: Well I did only this thing related to container: I set the "ControlContainer" property of the User Control to true so that it acts as a container. I have tried running older versions, but same issue is there.

    Thanks guys. I am getting new directions because of you people.

    Question Re: MouseUp in ActiveX - works in IDE but not in exe

    Is it possible for me to summon The Wolf somehow (got Marcellus Wallace's no.? )? He is expert in Bonny Situations.

    Yes, you are right. I am going crazy.

    Re: MouseUp in ActiveX - works in IDE but not in exe

    How have you exposed the event? And how have you passed the parameters? Showing the code for this may help us resolve the problem. Also, if a control placed inside it has the focus, your event will not fire. This can be overcome of course, but it can get involved.

    Re: MouseUp in ActiveX - works in IDE but not in exe

    @WizBang: Here is how I have exposed the event:

    Code:
    Private Sub Picture1_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
        RaiseEvent MouseMove(Button, Shift, X, Y)
    End Sub
    
    'WARNING! DO NOT REMOVE OR MODIFY THE FOLLOWING COMMENTED LINES!
    'MappingInfo=Picture1,Picture1,-1,MouseIcon
    Public Property Get MouseIcon() As Picture
        Set MouseIcon = Picture1.MouseIcon
    End Property
    
    
    Private Sub Picture1_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
        RaiseEvent MouseDown(Button, Shift, X, Y)
    End Sub
    
    Private Sub Picture1_KeyUp(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
        RaiseEvent KeyUp(KeyCode, Shift)
    End Sub
    
    Private Sub Picture1_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)
        RaiseEvent KeyPress(KeyAscii)
    End Sub
    
    Private Sub Picture1_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
        RaiseEvent KeyDown(KeyCode, Shift)
    End Sub
    Thanks.

    Re: MouseUp in ActiveX - works in IDE but not in exe

    Kick me if I'm wrong, but I don't see any exposure of _MouseUp() event here.
    I see _MouseMove() and _MouseDown, but NO _MouseUp()???

    Re: MouseUp in ActiveX - works in IDE but not in exe

    I have to agree with WoF, though I suppose it got missed in the copy/paste.

    Anyway, I just made a test OCX, with the event in question, and it worked fine.

    What else can you tell us about what the control does?

    Re: MouseUp in ActiveX - works in IDE but not in exe

    @WOF: Oh I am so so sorry. MouseUp is same as MouseDown.

    @Jonny: I tried file logging from inside of User Control like this:

    Code:
    Private Sub Picture1_MouseMove(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
        Open "C:\CoontrolLog.txt" For Append As #1
        Print #1, "Inside MouseMove. X:" & X & "Y:" & Y
        Close #1
        RaiseEvent MouseMove(Button, Shift, X, Y)
    End Sub
    The evnts are being logged!!

    So User Control is definitely raising events.

    Re: MouseUp in ActiveX - works in IDE but not in exe

    @WizBang: the control basically enhances VB's PictureBox with MouseWheel support.

    I have used WM_MOUSEWHEEL message inside control in a module. I have used VBACELLERATOR's SSubTmr6.dll for subclassing.

    Re: MouseUp in ActiveX - works in IDE but not in exe

    Hey Guys.
    Here is a update. Strange.

    I added same file logging code inside Form which has my OCX control in OCX's MouseMove.

    The event is logged only when Mouse is clicked!!!

    That means, MouseMove of user control in form is called only when mouse is clicked on control!! This is outside VB IDE. Inside works fine.

    Contrary to that, MouseMove code in UserControl's code is called everytime, whether i am
    running from inside VB IDE or from outside.

    Does that make sense, anyone?

    Re: MouseUp in ActiveX - works in IDE but not in exe

    OK, try opening the control's code window, select all and copy. Then open a new, blank control, and paste the code into it. See if the new control behaves differently. If not, try creating a new control, with only the MouseUp event functionality, and see what happens.

    Why not use the UserControl's Picture property to hold the picture, thus eliminating the extra PictureBox control? This may or may not resolve the MouseUp issue, but it would lighten the memory usage if nothing else.

    So, you're subclassing the control then? Well, as you probably already know, strange things can happen when attempting this. I would therefore suggest looking up the self-subclassing work of Paul Caton, on PlanetSourceCode.com. It's good stuff.

    .
    Hmm.. I have sometimes seen problems when other threads coming in between or if the mainapplication is running enless loops while in between an event should occure But I know to less about which activeX it is and what the mainaipplication does in the time when the event should come in. Or a focus problem could occur even if it seems he is over the control. Thats why I'm asking ik he sees mouse move events occuring, but are they really coming from his control. What sort of activex makes the troubles ?

    Ok this was before I read the other posts which have come in in a hurry now.

    Yes maybe. What is going on outside of your acticvéX ? Any huge amount of timer events permanently fired or other actions which didn't allow that the activeX is heared. Like an endless loop running there without enough DoEvents in between.

    Sometimes an application in the IDE is run only in debug mode and is much slower then in compiled mode and in compiled mode then there is so muck other code running that there is no time to get the activeX event.
    Look at the 'traffic' in your application and where you have blocking long running loops always use DoEvents

    Re: MouseUp in ActiveX - works in IDE but not in exe

    @WizBang: But the subclassing part is working perfectly fine. Inside/outside. The problem is with the exposed events of PictureBox control. I'll try something in that direction anyway.

    I used PictureBox inside user control because it is supposed to be a Pic and Place replacement for a PictureBox. Just put the new control in a project using a PictureBox, name it as same and it should work. So PictureBox made it easy for me to expose the properties and events.

    @Jonny: I am not having many loops in the code. And loops are called at:
    1> Form_Load
    2> MouseWheel Scroll

    So they should not conflict with MouseMove events. am i correct?



    @All: You guys are being incredible help to me. Before posting the problem here, I was feeling like Tom Hanks in Cast Away. Even Mr. Wilson wasn't here with me. Thanks a bunch.

    Will it help if I post the setup for whole thing over here? Do you guys have time for that?
