TrayIcon Event Order Bug

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Compared to standard VB controls, the MouseDown, MouseUp and Click events of the TrayIcon are incorrect. 

For Example, a Label control:

Private Sub lblDate_Click()
    Debug.Print "Click"
End Sub

Private Sub lblDate_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
    Debug.Print "Down"
End Sub

Private Sub lblDate_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
    Debug.Print "Up"
End Sub

Will produce the following in the Debug window:

Down
Up
Click

The TrayIcon produces the following:

Click
Down
Up

This makes it impossible to perform a check during the MouseDown event before performing an action such as MinimizeToTray in the click event.
