making onmouse event work

[Jim Locker]

I am trying to get a combo box to respond to a right-click by running a handler that puts up my request20 dialog. I would expect this code to work: fc =@ f.addcontrol(wxformcombo, 307, 134, 164, 192, edittype=’dropedit’, name=’TextBox4′) fc.onlostfocus.function =@ ValUnit1 fc.onselectionchange.function =@ ValUnit1 :// patch fc.setonmousemask(0x00000100) fc.onmouse.function =@ CILoadtens but it doesn’t. There is no custom response that I can see to the onmouse event when I right-click. Instead, what I get is the same as what I get whenever I right-click on any edit controls; a default popup requester that has the usual cut/paste/select all choices – and mostly those are greyed out. What exactly do I need to do to get my event handler to run on a right-click of the mouse?

I am not certain you can. This is a known issue with wxWidgets controls
and MS Windows. The menu that you are seeing is supplied by the OS, and
as far as I know, you can't override it. A similar problem exists for
edit controls.
