hello fred

Sergey found another solution with which i am going to go with ("declare short GetKeyState in Win32API integer nVirtKey"). call me nuts, but i like things where they belong, and i kind'da think a call to the shortcut menu belongs in the RightClick() event if at all posible - even though it would work somewhere else, i'd rather put it there

thanks again Fred for your continues help!

>Shouldn't be a problem. If you were in an ActiveX, that's probably the way you'd have to do it anyways.
