cause another event.

• Event handlers are functions that tell how to respond


to an event.

Mouse events
Keyboard events

Mouse Events

• Mouse events occur with mouse movements in


forms and controls.
– MouseDown - it occurs when a mouse button is pressed

– MouseEnter - it occurs when the mouse pointer enters the control

– MouseHover - it occurs when the mouse pointer hovers over the control

– MouseLeave - it occurs when the mouse pointer leaves the control

– MouseMove - it occurs when the mouse pointer moves over the control

– MouseUp - it occurs when the mouse pointer is over the control and the mouse button is released
– MouseWheel - it occurs when the mouse wheel moves and the control has focus

Mouse Events

• The event handlers of the mouse events get an


argument of type MouseEventArgs.
• The MouseEventArgs object is used for handling
mouse events.
• It has the following properties:
Buttons - indicates the mouse button pressed
Clicks - indicates the number of clicks
Delta - indicates the number of detents the mouse wheel rotated
X - indicates the x-coordinate of mouse click
Y - indicates the y-coordinate of mouse click
