I don't think that you are meant to. A click could be the result of touching the screen at one point, sliding the stylus and then lifting it at another point still within the control.

Other events like MouseDown come with screen (or at least wrt control) coordinates because there can be no ambiguity.

How to do what, exactly? Please describe the effect that you wish to produce.

The distinction that I did not make clear was between two ways of using the stylus:

1) You just click on some control like a button - it does not matter if the stylus slides. Basic4PPC just delivers a "Click" event and the program registers a use of that button.

2) The stylus is used in a geometrical manner for instance to draw. The program then needs pixel co-ordinates and these are obtained by using a MouseDown or MouseUp event, or both.

There is a third use in which the geometry is interpreted by the control and delivered by a special event, such as sliding an adjustment control or choosing from a list. No pixel co-ordinates are delivered to the program for these cases; only the interpretation is returned.

HTH, Mike.
