If you need to get the mouse down to work its quite simple do this on your mouse event sub

If (X / Screen.TwipsPerPixelX) = STI_RBUTTONDBCLK = True Then
form1.PopupMenu Form1.options
End If

or whatever, worked for me.

5 Globes - Easiest code Ive seen for this, and contained in a tiny module, rather than a bloated OCX or DLL file. Keep up the great work.

I have found that this doesn't work if a form's scale mode is set to pixels. Any reason for this? It doesn't pick up any mouse activity.
