OnMouseDown event

Component: TPdfView  ·  Unit: PDFium
Raised when the user presses a mouse button over the view

Syntax

property OnMouseDown: TMouseEvent;

Description

Raised when the user presses a mouse button over the view. The Sender parameter refers to the TPdfView instance that raised the event, so a single handler can serve multiple views by inspecting Sender

Typical uses include starting a custom selection box, beginning panning, or capturing coordinates for a "go to this annotation" feature. Because the handler runs on the VCL main thread, you can update form controls and call other VCL APIs directly

Handlers must return quickly — PDFium rendering and form filling occur on the same thread, and any delay here postpones the next page repaint

Remarks

Example

procedure TForm1.PdfViewOnMouseDown(Sender: TObject; Button: TMouseButton; Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
begin
  // start a custom selection box, begin panning, or capture coordinates for a "go to this annotation" feature
  Caption := Format('OnMouseDown on page %d', [PdfView1.PageNumber]);
end;
