Use a MouseDown or MouseUp event procedure to specify actions that will occur when a mouse button is pressed or released. Unlike the Click and DblClick events, MouseDown and MouseUp events lets you distinguish between the left, right, and middle mouse buttons. You can also write code for mouse-keyboard combinations that use the SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT keyboard modifiers. Use the FileFromPoint property to retrieve the file from the cursor. The control fires the StateChange event when the selection is changed. Use Get property to retrieve the collection of selected items.

The following VB sample displays the file or the folder being clicked:

Private Sub ExFileView1_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
    Dim f As String
    f = ExFileView1.FileFromPoint(X / Screen.TwipsPerPixelX, Y / Screen.TwipsPerPixelY)
    If Len(f) > 0 Then
        Debug.Print f
    End If
End Sub

The following C++ sample displays the file or the folder being clicked:

void OnMouseDownExfileview1(short Button, short Shift, long X, long Y) 
{
	CString f = m_fileview.GetFileFromPoint( X, Y );
	if ( f.GetLength() > 0 )
		OutputDebugString( f );
}

The following VB.NET sample displays the file or the folder being clicked:

Private Sub AxExFileView1_MouseDownEvent(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As AxEXFILEVIEWLib._IExFileViewEvents_MouseDownEvent) Handles AxExFileView1.MouseDownEvent
    Dim f As String = AxExFileView1.get_FileFromPoint(e.x, e.y)
    If Len(f) > 0 Then
        Debug.WriteLine(f)
    End If
End Sub

The following C# sample displays the file or the folder being clicked:

private void axExFileView1_MouseDownEvent(object sender, AxEXFILEVIEWLib._IExFileViewEvents_MouseDownEvent e)
{
	string f = axExFileView1.get_FileFromPoint(e.x, e.y);
	if (f.Length > 0)
		System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(f);
}

The following VFP sample displays the file or the folder being clicked:

*** ActiveX Control Event ***
LPARAMETERS button, shift, x, y

with thisform.ExFileView1
	local f
	f = .FileFromPoint( x, y )
	if ( len(f) > 0 )
		wait window nowait f
