Hello Mirek (and others),

The fact that those differences exist on Windows is not that strange.
Those apps that are built directly on the Windows SDK or on some framework that follows it closely (like MFC), will show the behaviour as I mentioned. Those that are built on custom frameworks might not follow this convention.
Of course, even in the Windows SDK, the user can still react to WM_RBUTTONDOWN or WM_RBUTTONUP, but the proper way to handle it is in WM_CONTEXTMENU.

PS: Java (Swing) on Windows also follows the SDK convention.

I can see and respect the reason for not changing it though and hope you will not hold it against me if I change it on my local copy of Upp Smile
