Right Clicking performing Left Click as well

[Daniel McCool]

I am right clicking on a listview to have it popup a menu, BUT I also want it to select the listitem that you have right clicked on, essentially I want the right click to perform the left click action before the right click action. I have tried calling the Listview1_Click function, but does not work. Shed some light somebody?

I am detecting the right click by the MouseDown function, perhaps this is causing my problem, how do I detect a right mouse click in a Click function (Listview1_Click)

Thanks buddies

Does this help???

Private Sub Form_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
    If Button = vbRightButton Then MsgBox "Right Click is pressed."
End Sub

'In decarations area
 
' HOLDS ITEM SELECTED IN LISTBOX
 
Private M_CURRENTITEM As ListItem
 
'*******************************************************************************
' ListView1_MouseDown (SUB)
'
' DESCRIPTION:
' STORE ITEM SELECTED
'*******************************************************************************
 
Private Sub ListView1_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
    
    Set M_CURRENTITEM = ListView1.HitTest(X, Y)
    
End Sub
 
'*******************************************************************************
' ListView1_DblClick (SUB)

' DESCRIPTION:

Private Sub ListView1_DblClick()
    
    If M_CURRENTITEM Is Nothing Then
        
        MsgBox "Select a Task to Perform"
        
    Else
 
        ' DO THE ACTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE BUTTON SELECTED
 
        Select Case M_CURRENTITEM
 
            Case "Icon Caption 1"
 
            Case "Icon Caption 1"
 
            Case "Icon Caption 1"
 
       End Select
        
    End If
    
End Sub
