Off the top of my head, here's a couple options:
1) Dont draw the object
2) Catch all the mouse messages to the program and check if a click happens inside the control, and if so fire the OnClick event
3) DirectInput, and do the same as #2

thanks but your answer does not help ...
I wrote the Click_Event of the form , but when the user click the hidden part of the form , it does n't call Click_Event , it moves the focus to the other applications that resides behind my form !!!!
what I mean : do I have to use system hooks to catch all Mouse Events that happens on the system , or there is another solution ??
thanks

From what you are describing, it seems you would need either the hook or directinput. Someone might have another answer for you though.

Hi,
I have an MDI app that allows user to create flowcharts.
User can drag flowchart objects (squares, rectangles,
elipses, etc) from the toolbar and put on a form. They
should be able to move the objects around on the form.
This is where the problem is, I have implemented this
using the mouse_down, mouse_up and mouse_move events of
the form. When user selects a object, I receive the

I need to be able to detect mouse movement even when it is not over my
application. I can get the mouse cords using MousePosition but I am not
sure if there is an event that hits my program when the mouse is not over my
program.
One idea i had was make a child form that was transparent and use the
MouseMove event to keep that transparent window under the mouse but the
transparent window did not catch the MouseMove event.

I'm trying to implement some pretty basic behavior in c#/.net 1.1
Forms but can't seem to find all the requisite pieces. When a user
clicks on the background of the form, I want the app to start
receiving MouseMove updates -- whether the pointer is over the form or
not (this being the crucial part) -- until the next MouseDown. It's
easy to receive MouseMove events while the pointer is over the form
but not when the pointer leaves. (Forms...

In a simple two form project, use a button on each form to Show() the other
form and Hide() the current form. Add MouseEnter and MouseLeave events to
both buttons so they change the image on each button when they are NOT
Clicked but the cursor enters their boundary.
This setup works fine. If the mouse cursor enters the button on the first
form the image changes and if the button is clicked the first form
disappears and the other form...

Hi all
I have two problems:
Problem #1:
I'm using a .NET Form with the property 'FormBorderStyle' set to 'None'. The idea is to completely cover the area of that Form with a UserControl. In order to be able to move that Form around with the mouse I have to implement EventHandlers for the MouseDown, MouseUp and MouseMove event.
Now the problem I have is these Events will never be fired because the entire dialog is covered by the...

Hello,
I have tried this using the MouseEnter/MouseLeave events. However these
events do not really refer to the rectangular shape of the form, but
the client area (form area minus children areas). This means that if
the mouse is currently inside the form's client area and it enters a
child, a MouseLeave event will be generated on the form.
One little trick to overcome this is to do a point-in-rectangle test
inside the MouseLeave...

Hi,
I am trying (with little (no) success) to create a transparent form
that can capture mouse events. Put another way, i would like to show
the other windows that are behind my form (like setting the form
transparency key to the form backcolor), but i dont want the mouse
clicks to pass through my form and on to the windows behind.
Can i perhaps do this with a message filter? by deregistering the
filter that must already be there to...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
