I want users to be able to contextual-click (right-click, control- click) on the header of a listbox, so I can display a menu where the user can choose which column to show/hide. Just like many Apple apps do (iTunes, Mail, etc).

But I can't get this to work. A right-click on a listbox header acts just like a left-click; even calling IsContextualClick() in the HeaderPressed event returns "false".

You have to catch the right-click in the ListBox's MouseDown event!
To find out, if the user clicked on the header, check the event's 'y' parameter.

if y < 20 and IsContextualClick() then
   ...
   // return 'true' to prevent the HeaderPressed event form firing
   return true
end if

I don't know, if there is a way to get the correct height of the header, but 20 seems a good value to me. At least on Mac OS X.

Gruß
Christian
