Anand,

You want to execute code written in button_Click. Do you want to call an Asynchronous call or Synchronous call, once you execute button_Click method then it return after executing Click method.

If you don't want to execute them then you should use button_MouseUp method instead, MouseUp only executes when button released.

You should also attach same Event to KeyUp as it may possible that user use keyboard to click button not mouse.

I hope you clear your doubt, if not please describe us what is your functionality.

Regards
Rushi

Sounds Reasonable.

Solution 2

You cannot do it with a standard button, because a button does not expose events like "PressedDown" and "Released". You should create your own custom control looking like button but implementing such events using lower-level keyboard and mouse events. Don't derive your control class from Button, derive it from Control.

Solution 1

Look at handling the MouseDown and MouseUp events - you may also want to check for MouseMove or MouseLeave events and remove your code from the Click event to a general method.
You may also need to introduce a timer if you want the routine called repeatedly.

That is correct, my 5, but it should be a custom control, not button.
Please see my answer.
