Easy listbox question

[Scott Turchin]

So I have this listbox on hDlg called %IDLISTBOX1

Life is good (isn't it?)

Now, a user selects a string on the listbox, and this message occurs:


%LBN_SELCHANGE


Two questions.
If the string is highlighted how can i get the position of the string.
Since the string actually represents itself in an array in the same position this would be nice.


Question 2
Is there a message for a RIGHT CLICK on this control, if so I'd like to throw a menu up like "Remove this item"


Thanks!

Scott

LOCAL sl AS LONG
sl = SendMessage(lbhWnd, %LB_GETCURSEL, 0, 0)

As for trapping right button clicks, I think you have to subclass
it and trap %WM_RBUTTONDOWN in listbox's subclassed message handler.
Could be some easier way to do it, but I don't know other that this..

Scott,

Just at this moment I'm working on the same problem - to trap a right mouse click on a listbox.

Looking at the dialog callback procedure, I noticed the following. A right mouse click inside the listbox generates a WM_MOUSEACTIVATE message. Testing the HIWRD( lParam ), you get "the identifier of the mouse message generated when the user pressed a mouse button", which is WM_RBUTTONDOWN! It seems to be possible to trap such a right clicks.

I don't know if I can be confident on this behavior. On the other hand, I don't know how to convert the click coordinates (getcursorpos) in something tells me the related item. Can someone help me?
