asked on
right click on a popup menu ?
Hello all,
Is there a way to let a Popup menu react to a user-right-click ? i.e. an equivalent of OnMouseDown event . Also I need to know on which menuitem user was positioned when he right-clicked
many thanks

add popup menu to ur form, then assign the Popmenu property of the from to ur popup menu
also you can view it manually in the OneMouseDown Event
if Button = mbRight then
PopupMenu1.Popup(X + Top,Y + Left);
if Button = mbRight then
PopupMenu1.Popup(X + Top,Y + Left);
Hi
if you mean right-click in a popup menu that has been already activated I think that you have to look at TrackPopupMenu API function. TrackPopupMenu API function (that is used to show popup menu in respond of user right-click) has TPM_RECURSE flag that is not used in Delphi. This flag allows to use context menu within a menu but only in Win98/me and win2000/xp. To use this flag you have to make your own procedure to invoke popup menu
Hope this will help

Small addition to my previous post:
you have to write WM_MENURBUTTONUP message handler to use nested popup menus

Hello again guys,
sorry for not being very accurate in my description of the problem. I have already a popupmenu assigned to a control and this popup works very nicely when I right click on the control. What is needed now is to be able to respond to right-clicks WHILE the popup is open and showing its items.
for example, one of the item is "modem". When the mouse comes over it on the popup, it is highlighted. A normal click would activate the modem, while a right click would open the properties of the modem (of course this is just an example).
bes67 got it almost correct, but I don't need a menu when righ-cliking but rather call an event.
is it a bit clearer ?
