'..' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level.

Question

Hi guys!

I have little problem. I have followed THIS guide, so my code looks like this:

    Private Sub mpButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs)
        '' Declare MultiPoint mouse button handler
        AddHandler mpButton.MultipointClick, AddressOf mpButton_Click

    End Sub

Im getting this error right here: 'mpButton' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level.
The mpButton exists.

Do I have to add this:
        Dim mpButton As New MultipointButton

But that gives me this error:

'MultipointClick' is not an event of 'Scoreboard.MainWindow.MultipointButton'.

So it looks like my Addhandler code is not an event, am I right?
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for all help!

I've never use the Windows MultiPoint Mouse SDK myself so I'm not familiar with the classes and events it uses. However from the link you've given I can tell you that this line: AddHandler mpButton.MultipointClick AddressOf mpButton_Click should be added to your Window's constructor. The code inside the mpButton_Click handler should be as highlighted below: Private Sub mpButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) mpButton.Content = Click End Sub You shouldn't need to declare mpButton because it should already have been declared in the .xaml file in the previous step (entitled 'Adding a Mouse Control'): Name=mpButton Content=Click Me Click=mpButton_Click />
