SftButton/OCX 3.0 - Button Control

CancelMode Method, SftButton Object

Cancels current processing modes.

Syntax

object

A SftButton object.

Comments

The CancelMode method cancels current processing modes.

Applications may wish to respond to events such as MouseDown. Many mouse related events may have built-in functions, particularly drag & drop operations may be started after these events are processed. If an application wants to suppress the built-in behavior, e.g. to display a context menu, the internal state of the control has to be cleared. This can be accomplished using the CancelMode method.

Examples

VB.NET

End Sub

Private Sub AxSftButton1_DropDownClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles AxSftButton1.DropDownClick
    ' The drop down button was clicked. Display a popup menu
    ' right-aligned with the right edge of the button
    Dim pt As Point = New Point(AxSftButton1.Location.X + AxSftButton1.Size.Width, _
                            AxSftButton1.Location.Y + AxSftButton1.Size.Height)
    pt = PointToScreen(pt)
    AxSftButton1.CancelMode()
    TrackPopupMenu(ContextMenu1.Handle, Convert.ToUInt32(TPM_RIGHTALIGN Or TPM_TOPALIGN Or TPM_LEFTBUTTON), pt.X, pt.Y, 0, Me.Handle, IntPtr.Zero)
End Sub

Private Sub AxSftButton2_DropDownClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles AxSftButton2.DropDownClick
