Right mouse on Nodeview_click

[hozo]

Hello all! Just looking for simple code that will let me discern whether the user used the left or right mouse button (or middle for that matter) in a WHATEVERNODE_NodeClick() event. You would think Microsoft would just add a button reference like there is in the mousedown event, but WHY MAKE THINGS EASY!

Thanks to whoever answers.

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.

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

I remember this pattern. You can use this one, it fires only if you click on a node.

Private Sub TreeView1_MouseDown(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, x As Single, y As Single)
    TreeView1.Tag = Button
End Sub
Private Sub TreeView1_NodeClick(ByVal Node As ComctlLib.Node)
    Select Case TreeView1.Tag
        Case 1
            'Left button code here
        Case 2
            'Right button code here
    End Select
End Sub
