Posts: 331                I have a pushbutton whose action event doesn't fire 
when I click it with a mouse.
What its function is is to copy the text from a listbox's active cell on the 
same window into a separate window.
I know the code works.  I have a menuitem that will push the button, and the 
window pops up.
I've tried putting return true into the mousedown event with no effect.
It also works on Mac with no problem.
Suggestions?

event it will not fire the Action event, as you're notifying the control not to 
handle the mouse click. Otherwise it's a Push Button and the Action event isn't 
firing?

click.

It's likely that the action event is firing on the first click, but the 
environment isn't what you expect it to be, so you're not getting the result 
you expect.  Have you put a breakpoint in the action event to check it?

Posts: 331                I guess that wasn't obvious by my post.  Yes.  
Definitely a breakpoint at the start
