Borislav,

I had looked at the MouseDown event. It does have a button parm that will tell me if the right or left button was pressed. It also passes an x and y coordinate. However, I'm having trouble determining if the user clicked on an item in the list or just in some empty space within the control.

I tried doing a hittest() with the x & y parms but it doesn't seem to work the way I'm expecting.

This is the code I've placed in MouseDown event:

*** ActiveX Control Event ***
LPARAMETERS button, shift, x, y
loNode = .NULL.

IF button = 2
   loNode = this.hitTest(x,y)
   IF VARTYPE(loNode) == "O"
      = MESSAGEBOX("Right Click")
   ENDIF 
ENDIF 

My understanding is that hittest is supposed to return a reference to the item in the listview that has the coordinates of x,y. However, the above code seems to work exactly opposite. If I right click on empty space in the control, it returns a ListItem object of the currently selected item.

If I actually right click on the item, then hittest returns nothing.

Any ideas as to how to tell what item in the list the user right clicked?

Thanks for your input!

>>I've been playing around with the ListView control (MSComctlLib.ListViewCtrl2). I am able to add items, display them with small icons, large icons, etc. However, I have not yet found a way to trap the right click or double click of an item.

>>The control has a ItemClickEvent but that responds to a single click and doesn't tell if the user right or left clicked. I want to be able to open up a context sensitive menu if the user right clicks an item or launch a form if the user double clicks an item (much like the behaviour of windows explorer).
