Determines the area at a given location.

Syntax       

		VB.NET	Success = object.HitTestV(ByVal x As Single, ByVal y As Single, ByRef Area As Object)  As Boolean
		VB	Success = object.HitTestV(ByVal x As Single, ByVal y As Single, Area As Variant)  As Boolean
		C#.NET	bool Success = object.HitTestV(float x, float y, out object Area);
		VC++	VARIANT_BOOL Success = object->HitTestV(float x, float y, const _variant_t&* Area);
		C	HRESULT object->raw_HitTestV(float x, float y, VARIANT* Area, VARIANT_BOOL* Success);
		Delphi	Success := object.HitTestV(x : Single; y : Single; out Area : OleVariant)   : WordBool;

object

A SftMask object.

x

An expression that evaluates to the x coordinate to be tested. The units used depend on the container used (e.g., Visual Basic uses TWIPS by default, Visual C++ uses pixels).

y

An expression that evaluates to the y coordinate to be tested. The units used depend on the container used (e.g., Visual Basic uses TWIPS by default, Visual C++ uses pixels).

Area

Returns the area description where the coordinates x, y are located.

Area	Value	Description
areaSftMaskCaption	0	Caption area
areaSftMaskEdit	1	Edit control (i.e., the editable portion of the control)
areaSftMaskSpin	2	Up/down buttons
areaSftMaskDropDown	3	Drop down button

Success

Returns True if the coordinates x, y are located in the control.

Comments

The HitTestV method determines the area at a given location.

The general area where the coordinates described by x, y are located in the control (relative to the top, left corner of the control) is returned in Area.

HitTestV is used for languages such as VBScript, which are limited by requiring Variant arguments and do not support strongly typed arguments for return values. For more information please see Using SftMask/OCX with Internet Explorer.
