How to handle dynamically created form's MouseDown or MouseUp event? Using:
C++
TMouse * event= dynamic_cast<TMouse*>(Sender);

does not throw any error but doesn't do the work either. According to C++ Builder's reference TMouseEvent is the function type for either an OnMouseDown event or an OnMouseUp event. I don't know what to do here.

Thanks in advance.

What I have tried:

This throws the error: E2031 Cannot cast from 'TObject*' to 'TMouseEvent'
C++
void __fastcall TfMain::dyn_formMouseDown(TObject *Sender, TMouseButton Button, TShiftState Shift,
	int X, int Y){
	TMouseEvent * event= dynamic_cast<TMouseEvent *>(Sender);
	if (event) {
		old_x = X;
		old_y = Y;
		mouseState = MOUSE_DOWN;
	}
}

Such a cast is invalid, of course, since TMouseEvent is the type of the event handler (that is the function, it has nothing to do with the sender). See this page for sample code: TControl.OnMouseUp Event[^].

Yeah!? I //commented casting and if statements. It is working, thanks.
