1. RightDown event
I had a question on right mouse clicking. I saw an example program
(ex20.exw) that uses a mouse procedure to trap right mouse clicks. This
does not work on a program that uses a menu. Why does the OnClick
routine not trap for right mouse clicks ?
Here is my sample test case:
include Win32lib.ew
without warning
constant Window1 = createEx( Window, "Window1", 0, Default, Default,
400, 300, 0, 0 )
procedure Window1_onClick (integer self, integer event, sequence
params)--params is ()
-- This checks for the Right mouse click event
sequence lTitl, lMsg
integer rc
lTitl = ""
lMsg = "Right click !"
if event = RightDown then
rc = message_box (lMsg, lTitl, 0)
end if
end procedure
setHandler( Window1, w32HClick, routine_id("Window1_onClick"))
WinMain( Window1,Normal )
Thank You

w32HClick is the event triggered by left click, space when the focus
is on the button, or the Alt key if it has one.
To check for right clicks try w32HMouse.

This works for me:
include win32lib.ew
without warning
constant
win = createEx(Window,"Mouse Right Click Test",0,0,0,400,300,0,0)
setWindowBackColor(win,Black)
procedure RightClick(integer self, integer event, sequence params)
if params[1] = RightUp then --Right mouse btn released
setTextColor(win,White)
setPenPos(win,5,5)
wPuts(win,"Right Clicked!")
end if
end procedure
setHandler(win,w32HMouse,routine_id("RightClick"))
WinMain(win,Normal)

This is true. Microsoft has decided that a Right Button Click is not a
default (supported) event. I assume this because neither the API, Visual
Basic or MFC has support built in for this.
However, the example code I sent earlier might do. I can easily enahnce
win32lib to support it too.

Joseph,
There's a slightly complex way to right click on items in a list box in
"RunDemos.exw" which comes with Win32Lib. The routine that includes doing
it is "List_onMouse", though there's setup stuff before it, look for "right
click" & you should find it. A Getz created the idea for me.
And now that I look at it, there's a simpler example called, reasonably
enough, "RtClick.exw" in the examples. And somehow, I forget how but it
might be easy to find, I made right click on some of the buttons at the top
of RunDemos work, too.
HTH,
Dan Moyer
