DropDownClick Event, SftButton Object

The drop down button is clicked.

Syntax

object

A SftButton object.

Comments

The DropDownClick event occurs when the drop down button is clicked or when the user presses Alt+Down Arrow. Depending on the DropDownDownClick property, the event occurs as the mouse button is pressed or released. Using properties such as the DropDownPressed property does not cause this event to occur.

If the user double-clicks the drop down button, the DropDownDblClick event also occurs.

The Click event occurs when the button is clicked.
