MouseDown and Click conflict

Question

I have a Drag() method on form_MouseDown event. I also have a click event on the form. The problem is that if I click on the form, MouseDown event gets triggered and it never gets the chance to trigger click event.

What is the best way to solve this issue? I was thinking counting pixels if the form is actually dragged, but there has to be a better way. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I found this solution, although it is for a double-click and a mouse down events:

void pictureBox_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left && e.Clicks ==1)
{
PictureBox pb = (PictureBox)sender;
DoDragDrop((ImageData)pb.Tag, DragDropEffects.Copy);
}
}
