How do I respond to actions other than the left mouse button?

Currently I am using code like this to handle single left-click actions:


	btnTest <<= THISBACK(Compute);

Would I have to manually handle the Win32 messages within the 'Compute()' function? or is there an easier way of doing this?

Depends. To handle events inside your view area, us LeftDown, LeftUp, LeftDouble, RightDown etc... virtuals.

However, this seems like you are interested in events going to your widget (Button?), so in fact Button is to handle these events. Standard Button does not react to right mouse clicks - you would need to derive and add virtuals (quite easy to do).

OTOH, some Ctrls do react to rightclicks. E.g. ArrayCtrl pops up the menu (which you can define). Anyway, widget reaction to input events is widget specif.
