Well, I tried to catch the right click on the window level also, but that seemed to fail also. I do not know enough about the hook method to even begin.
Here is what I am really trying to do: I have a window where one of the controls needs to have a hyperlink (using Win32::GUI::Hyperlink). Before adding the Hyperlink, this control was a text field containing UNC path. I then added the Hyperlink, but could not find any way to get the click event on the text field. So.... I switched to the Label (with an etched border to "simulate" the appearance of a text field as much as possible) because at least I could use the notify flag to get the click event (why is there a click for a label anyway, but not for a text field????). Now, since the control is a label, I can click the hyperlink and get the click event, however, I cannot select the data for copying. So, my thought was to put an event handler onto the rightclick event. But, as we see, that is not catchable either. I even tried to attach a rightclick event to the window object, but did not have luck with that either. My ultimate goal would be to be able to use a textfield as a first choice, as long as I can catch both the click and right click events. Baring that, I would then be fine with using Hook or any other method to get what I need done. If something like this can be done with Hook, can someone send an example as I really can't find an example on the Web for simular to what I am trying to do.
