Right Click ColumnHeader in ListView to PopupMenu

[rack]

What would be the easiest way to make a popupmenu on a right click of the mouse, on the column header section?

The mouseup event on a listview doesn't happen if you click the header.
The column_Click event doesn't have a button variable.

Picture Below

This is the code that I have so far. But I just need to know how to test for the right click.

Declare Function GetMenu Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long) As Long
Declare Function GetSubMenu Lib "user32" (ByVal hMenu As Long, ByVal nPos 
As Long) As Long
 
Declare Function TrackPopupMenu Lib "user32" (ByVal hMenu As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long, ByVal x As Long, ByVal y As Long, ByVal nReserved As Long, ByVal hwnd As Long, lpReserved As Any) As Long
 
Type Rect
    Left As Integer
    Top As Integer
    Right As Integer
    Bottom As Integer
End Type
 
 
Private Sub SearchListView_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, x As Single, y As Single)
If Button = 2 Then
    Dim IX  As Integer, IY As Integer
    'hMenu and hSubMenu must be long to run on 32-bit
    Dim hMenu As Long, hSubMenu As Long, R As Integer
    Dim menRect As Rect
 
        ScaleMode = 1 'twips
        menRect.Left = 0
        menRect.Top = 0
        menRect.Right = Screen.Width / Screen.TwipsPerPixelX
        menRect.Bottom = Screen.Height / Screen.TwipsPerPixelY
        IX = (x + Form1.Left + mainsearchframe.Left + SearchTab.Left + SearchListView.Left + (Form1.Width - Form1.ScaleWidth)) \ Screen.TwipsPerPixelX
        IY = (y + Form1.Top + mainsearchframe.Top + SearchTab.Top + SearchListView.Top + (Form1.Height - Form1.ScaleHeight)) \ Screen.TwipsPerPixelY
        hMenu = GetMenu(rightclickdropdown.hwnd)
        hSubMenu = GetSubMenu(hMenu, 1) ''whichmenu will select from left to right
        R = TrackPopupMenu(hSubMenu, 2, IX, IY, 0, rightclickdropdown.hwnd, menRect)
End If
End Sub

Is there a windows API call to verify which button was pressed on a mouse? If not, am I going to have to sub-Class (not knowing much about what this is)

When I left click, I want it to alter the Ascending/Descending order of the items. But when I right click, I want it to show my popup window with the ability to select which columns you want to have displayed.

Take a look at Aaron Youngs code bank thread. It subclasses the listview and intercepts the header messages. I added to it in post 14 too.

Thanks for that, I looked at it a bit, i'll mess around with it after work tomorrow, and respond, or make the thread Resolved accordingly. Thanks for the input, tired and going to sleep.
