right click on a tree view node

I can do the code for a normal click on tree view but what about right click, thanks for any help

What exactly do you mean? If you mean that you want to trap the Node you clicked on, then you can use NodeClick event, which has 1 argument - Node object that represents the node you clicked.

If you mean something different, please rephrase.

Sorry for the confusion, Yes I want to trap the node on a right click, for example, lets say I have a node that is call desserts, and this node has three child nodes. One of the child nodes is called Chocolate Cake, whe the user right clicks on this child node I want to execute some code. I know how to do the NodeClick(ByVal Node As MSComctlLib.Node), but this is for either left or right click, any way to keep it to right only, thanks again

This can be solved by co-operating with another event:

Private Sub tvtree_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, x As Single, y As Single)
tvtree.Tag = Button
End Sub

Private Sub tvtree_NodeClick(ByVal Node As ComctlLib.Node)
Select Case Val(tvtree.Tag)
Case 1
MsgBox "Left click"
Case 2
MsgBox "Right click"
End Select
End Sub

Hope this works!

Node click doesn't care what button you clicked with. What you can do is to use a MouseDown event to check if the user clicked with the right mouse button and then fire your function (or whatever you have there setup)

Code:

---

Private Sub TreeView1_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, x As Single, y As Single)
    Dim nodCurrent As Node
   
    If Button = vbRightButton Then
        Set nodCurrent = TreeView1.HitTest(x, y)
        If Not nodCurrent Is Nothing Then
            nodCurrent.Selected = True
            MsgBox "You right clicked on " & nodCurrent.Text
        End If
    End If
End Sub

---

thanks alot guys

I think a better way is use a menu on a hidden form (a form that will not be visible when the application is run but will be loaded none-the-less) and then to use the popupmuenu command to popup the menu which is on the hidden form, that way you can set the event code for as many options as you like.
