Argument |
Description |
|---|---|
flags |
UnsignedLong by value (the modifier keys and mouse buttons that are pressed). Values are:
In the RButtonDown event, the right mouse button is always pressed, so 2 is always summed in the value of flags. For an explanation of flags, see Syntax 2 of MouseMove. |
xpos |
Integer by value (the distance of the pointer from the left edge of the window’s workspace in pixels). |
ypos |
Integer by value (the distance of the pointer from the top of the window’s workspace in pixels). |
Long. Return code choices (specify in a RETURN statement):
0 Continue processing
These statements in the RButtonDown script for the window display a pop-up menu at the cursor position. Menu4 was created in the Menu painter and includes a menu called m_language. Menu4 is not the menu for the active window and therefore needs to be created. NewMenu is an instance of Menu4 (datatype Menu4):
Menu4 NewMenu
NewMenu = CREATE Menu4
NewMenu.m_language.PopMenu(xpos, ypos)
In a Multiple Document Interface (MDI) application, the arguments for PopMenu need to specify coordinates relative to the MDI frame:
NewMenu.m_language.PopMenu( &
w_frame.PointerX(), w_frame.PointerY())
Occurs when the user presses the right mouse button on the RichTextEdit control and the control’s PopMenu property is set to false.
