Hi Dragan,

>The other thing is inkey(), which may also be too late - it does catch the mouse clicks, but also eats them and has to be issued before you expect the click or key. Maybe chrsaw() function also has a mouse option, no it doesn't (just checked), but you can use mdown() - even though it's marked as obsolete in the help, it still works.

I already had checked all these funtions. None of them helped. MDOWN() only works for the left mouse button, chrsaw() doesn't work either ...

That works perfectly and encapsulates the behaviour in the control!! Why didn't I find that out myself <g>?

Thanks a lot,
