Xbase++ does not generate any events when the right mouse button is clicked 
on a menu or when the left mouse button is clicked on the menu item that 
points to a sub menu.

This is a real problem because I have customers who want to create desktop 
shortcuts from a menu by right-clicking a menu item.
I have never been able to get this to work, so my workaround has been to 
intercept a Shift-Left Click and use that info to create the shortcut.

Does anyone know how to get Xbase++ to generate RbClick or RbDown events on 
an XbpMenu() ?

Possibly the same way that my TaskBar library intercepts the menu events
from the taskbar icon popup menu.

Unfortunately I currently don't have a working C-compiler, so I can't do
any tests.

Hi, Roger:

Here is a possible starting point.

Hello Diego.
Good afternoon.
I took a look in your example and it is very interesting.
Could you, please, tell me where can I get information about 
::subscribeOSEvent() and how INLINE METHOD HandleOSEvent() is activated?

Alaska guys use in 
\Documents\Xbase++\source\runtime\dui\xbp-activex-statusbar.prg (v..2.0).
Also present in \Program Files\ALASKA\XPPW32\source\SYS\axctrls.prg file 
(v.1.90).
Both are internal, no documented methods.

If we subscribe an OSevent in a XbpPart, when that event is generated by the 
OS, the Xbase++ runtime automatically executes the method 
HandleOSEvent(nMsg, wp, lp )

Regards. Diego

PS:

For these purposes, I usually use ot4xb_SubclassWindow(). But as I believed 
that Roger would prefer a 100% Xbase++ solution, I remembered the existence 
of these methods.

And although in the first file you'll also find:

/  Remarks:
      THIS IS A SYSTEM FILE AND ITS CONTENTS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE
      WITH FUTURE RELEASES! MAKING ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT THE FILE'S
      CONTENTS IS DISCOURAGED.

, I would use without hesitation in the absence of Pablo's ot4xb.

Hello Diego:
good morning.
Many thanks. Very, very nice.

Carlos -

Thanks for that info but it just didn't work.  The Rightbutton up never 
created an OS event.

I resolved the problem by writing a new menu system that works identical 
to XbpMenu() but uses XbpPushButton() objects for each menu item.  Owner 
drawing makes it look just like a Windows menu.

Hello Roger:
good morning.
Many thanks. Could you please show here some screen of the menu?
