Right-click select event

Hi,

To determine an event under the mouse cursor you can use method HitTest(). For example see Calendar VB sample, CalendarControl_ContextMenu handler.

You can use MouseUp event as well as ContextMenu.

This is what I was already doing, but I thought I was oing it wrong because there is a problem. On the mousedown event I have:

xtmCalendar.ActiveView.UnselectAllEvents ' without this the event will never be selected, subsequent right clicks or not.
Set HitTest = xtmCalendar.ActiveView.HitTest
If Not HitTest.ViewEvent Is Nothing Then
    xtmCalendar.ActiveView.SelectViewEve nt HitTest.ViewEvent, True
End If

And I show the popup menu on mouseup.

The problem is that the event is not selected until the second time I right-click on the event. The first time I right click on the event (when it hasnt been selected), the event is not visibly selected on mouse down, and on mouse up it doesn't show either (the popup does show though). The only time it shows is when next I right click on the event (not having clicked anywhere else), and then it does work correctly - the event is selected on mouse down, and the popup is shown on mouse up.

What appears to be happening though is that its not exactly the second time I right click - it is the next time I right click ONE SECOND after the first right click. So I can right click as many times as I like, the selection will only happen 1 second after the first right click (e.g. say i keep right clicking many times, the selection will only happen on the first click that occurs one full second after the initial right click).

Here is a sample that reproduces it: 2005-12-06_174649_xcb_calendar_bug_2.rar

That would have been useful to know before and would have saved alot of time.

Thanks.

Its no worries mate. That would be a great addition to the documentation.
