C# PictureBox.MouseDown

[kselman]

I hope this is an easy one. It seems like it should be. I have a pictureBox that I am using as a button. I'm swapping images in and out for up and down states. When the user clicks and holds the mouse down I want it to execute the MouseDown code multiple times until they MouseUp. private void mirrorAdjust_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) { mirrorPictureBox.Image = Resources.MirrorDown; //while(MouseDown) ?? Is there a state I can check here? FunctionToRepeatUntilMouseUp(); } private void mirrorAdjust_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) { mirrorPictureBox.Image = Resources.MirrorUp; }

Hello, In this case you have to work with a timer. (System.Windows.Forms.Timer for example) You set the Enable Property true at Mouse Down. In the tick event code you than add the mousedown code. At mouse up you have to set Enable to false. (Also at MouseLeave to be sure) Hope that helps, All the best Martin

Thanks for the quick reply! Sounds good I will use a Timer then.. Thanks -Kevin

I have not done this, but I expect you can use a regular Button, give it no text, but add a picturebox to its Controls property, hence combining the best of both. :)
