    Example

    When the mouse is clicked, this sample finds the next field that is 8 characters long and moves the cursor to that field.

    To run this sample, open any IBM3270 session and copy the code into the ThisIbmScreen code window. On the VBA editor View menu, choose Immediate window. Then click on various screen locations. If your screen doesn't doesn't have a field that is 8 characters long, change the field length parameter in the code to match a field length on the screen.

    Private Sub IbmScreen_MouseClickEx(ByVal windowMessage As Long, ByVal row As Long, ByVal column As Long, ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long)
     
        Dim field As HostField
        Dim rtrnCode As ReturnCode
        
        'Print the row and column the mouse was clicked on
        Debug.Print "row = " & row & " and column = " & column
        
        Set field = ThisIbmScreen.FindField2(row, column, 8, FindOption_Forward)
        
        'Print the starting row and column of the next field that is 8 characters long
        Debug.Print "Row of next field = " & field.StartRow & " Column of next field = " & field.StartColumn
        
        ThisIbmScreen.Wait (2000)
        
        'Go to the next field
        rtrnCode = ThisIbmScreen.MoveCursorTo1(field.StartRow, field.StartColumn)
           
        MouseClickEx = True
