How can I use the right mouse button in a paged list-box.
I don't get an event. I also tried "MOUSE-FLAGS" but this does not work.
There should be an easy answer to this (I hope).
I want to do this to have a popup-menu after I clicked the right mouse button.

    Have you defined the listbox similar to this:

    Screen1-Lb-1, List-Box,
    COL 33.90, LINE 10.50, LINES 15.00 CELLS,
    SIZE 14.20 CELLS,
    POP-UP MENU IS Screen1-Mn-1-Handle,

    Procedure Division.

    CALL "W$MENU" USING Wmenu-New-Popup GIVING Menu-Handle
    IF Menu-Handle = ZERO
    GO TO Acu-Screen1-Mn-1-Exit
    END-IF
    CALL "W$MENU" USING WMENU-ADD, Menu-Handle, 0, 0, "first", 1000

    MOVE Menu-Handle TO Screen1-Mn-1-Handle

    display screen-w-list-box

    Yes thanks,

    I didn't put "POP-UP MENU IS Screen1-Mn-1-Handle"
    in my list-box.
    I thought I had to create the menu after I clicked the right mouse button, but with this it works.

    Thanks,

    As a secondary issue with right mouse click on list box - does anyone know hoe to ascertain upon which line in the list box the mouse is pointing to? I would like to make sure that the line pointed to when the right click is made can be selected before the menu box comes up.

    Does anybody know an answer to Keith's question?
    The line needs to be selected first before the menu appears.

    You'll need to put an event procedure on the list box and then use inquire to get theline in the list box:

    inquire Form1-Lb-1 selection-index my-var

    Attaching sample. After getting the selection I did not do anything to the event, such as stop the menu from showing.

    Thanks for the sample, but I still want the line selected before the menu appears. So when I'm at line 1 and I press the right-mouse button at line 3 I want line 3 to be selected first and then see the menu.

    When the focus goes to the list box you'll see that "Item 1" has focus but the color has not changed, use the arrow keys to select an item in the list box, right click, you;ll see that the event code is processed and then the menu appears.

    I made a change to the program to show hopw the event can be used. If you right click on the first item in the list the menu will not appear. The menu will appear for Item2 and Item3

    Thanks for your effort but it still doesn't work for me.
    I want the same thing that Keith asked.
    The line in the list-box must be selected first after I clicked the right-mouse button and after that the menu must appear.
    The problem is that the "selection-index" does not change in the event procedure after the right-mouse click
    I think it cannot be done.

    Thanks anyway

    I just used a grid and then it works fine.
    Looks better also.

    I have had to revert to grids to get over these limitations on list boxes, in which I also incude the unreadbale format you get when you disable a list box - the line selected is unreadable and there seems to be no way to alter it. It is a shame as grids are more complex to program, list boxes are really easy and so I use them whenever I do not need to have pop-ups and so-on.

    Grids are also frustrating though, can't use date entry fields in a cell, can't format entry properties sensibly for accounting value purposes etc., can't use radio or check box controls in a cell. I must admit I cannot see why the ability to use these inbuilt controls in a grid cell is not made available.

    Have you considered using an ActiveX listbox instead?

    On the installation CD of ACUCOBOL-GT version 6.2 and later, you will find the control Microsoft ListView, may be it gives what you want?

    I have not yet used any active-x with ACU COBOL.

    Is there a sample program I can look at that uses this MS Listview? If so then I will try it out.
