Detect a right click on a combobox

[spence74]

Does anyone know how to detect a right click on a vb6 combobox?

There may be a way to do it using the API, but there isn't a direct way, since the Combo Box for reasons unknown to most doesn't support the MouseUp and MouseDown events. However, the DBCombo control does. So, use the DBCombo box instead, and use the MouseUp event. (Don't use the MouseDown event; if you need convincing of this, try rightclicking anywhere on this page and see if the menu pops up when the mouse button goes down or when it goes up.) Evaluate the Button argument and if [tt]Button = vbRightButton[/tt] then do what you're going to do.

You'll need to subclass ...
