This event is triggered when the user presses a mouse button on the control.

Syntax

Private Sub object _MouseUp([index As Integer,] button As Integer, shift As Integer, x As Single, y As Single, ByVal eHitType As vlHitType, hitItem As Object)

The MouseDown event syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
object	An object expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies to list.
index	Returns an integer that uniquely identifies a control if it's in a control array.
button	Returns an integer that identifies the button that was pressed (MouseDown) or released (MouseUp) to cause the event. The button argument is a bit field with bits corresponding to the left button (bit 0), right button (bit 1), and middle button (bit 2). These bits correspond to the values 1, 2, and 4, respectively. Only one of the bits is set, indicating the button that caused the event.
shift	Returns an integer that corresponds to the state of the SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT keys when the button specified in the button argument is pressed or released. A bit is set if the key is down. The shift argument is a bit field with the least-significant bits corresponding to the SHIFT key (bit 0), the CTRL key (bit 1), and the ALT key (bit 2 ). These bits correspond to the values 1, 2, and 4, respectively. The shift argument indicates the state of these keys. Some, all, or none of the bits can be set, indicating that some, all, or none of the keys are pressed. For example, if both CTRL and ALT were pressed, the value of shift would be 6.
x, y	Returns a number that specifies the current location of the mouse pointer. The x and y values are always expressed in terms of the coordinate system set by the ScaleHeight, ScaleWidth, ScaleLeft, and ScaleTop properties of the object.
eHitType	An integer that specifies the type of item hit, i.e. described in settings.
hitItem	an object expression which specifies the item.
