Re: Win32Lib: listbox: select item with RIGHT mouse click?

I don't think there's any automatic way to do this.  You'd have to trap the
right click, do a hit test and select the item, if any.  There are built in
functions for Listviews and Treeviews, but I think you'd have to do this
manually for a regular list box.  You'd want to use a combination of
LB_GETITEMRECT and LB_GETTOPINDEX for the hit testing, to get the
information on what the first visible item is in the list box, and then the
size of the items...
