My splash screen contains only one large label that almost fills the form. It stays visible for whatever time I set in my timer, then minimizes itself.
During that time, I want the user to be able to click anywhere on the form to make it minimize.
I see that the Form has WM_LBUTTONDOWN, but if the user clicks on the Label text, the Form doesn't see the click. And I don't see any click messages for the Label control.
I tried to push the label into a layer further "back" so that it gets drawn first and so that the background of the form can see any click, but that didn't work.
Any suggestions?

Labels have a WM_LBUTTONDOWN message. It is in the drop down Messages combo box with the rest of the messages. Also, you can respond to the STN_CLICKED message for a Label.
Function FORM1_LABEL1_STN_CLICKED ( _
ControlIndex As Long, _ ' index in Control Array
hWndForm As Dword, _ ' handle of Form
hWndControl As Dword, _ ' handle of Control
idStaticControl As Long _ ' identifier of static control
) As Long
FF_CloseForm hWndForm
End Function
...or....
'------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Function FORM1_LABEL1_WM_LBUTTONDOWN ( _
ControlIndex As Long, _ ' index in Control Array
hWndForm As Dword, _ ' handle of Form
hWndControl As Dword, _ ' handle of Control
MouseFlags As Long, _ ' virtual keys that are pressed
xPos As Long, _ ' x-coordinate of cursor
yPos As Long _ ' y-coordinate of cursor
) As Long
FF_CloseForm hWndForm
End Function

I looked for any type of CLICKED messages before I posted the question, but I see no messages for Labels in any comboboxes!
The combobox on the left only offers me
(General)
frmSplash
CustomControl1
but no sign of Label1, Label2, etc...
Whichever of the items in the left combobox that I select, the right combobox shows me the messages that each offers.
But since I can't see any Labels in the left combobox, I can't access their messages!
???I'm using FF v2.75 on WinXP with SP2
Found it! In the editor settings, "Hide Label messages" was checked.
Turned it off, and everything is right in the world!
