Right-click events for StringGadget / EditorGadget

[Dude]

Just found out today that both StringGadget() and EditorGadget() do not support #PB_EventType_RightClick for events.

Can this please be added? I needed a pop-up menu to appear when these gadgets are right-clicked and had some real fun trying to work out why #PB_EventType_RightClick wasn't doing it... until I read in the manual that it's not actually supported for these gadgets. Blimey!

Surely this is an essential event? Everybody right-clicks a edit box and expects to get a context menu.

It should already display the standard OS menu with cut/copy paste and such, no ?

Not for EditorGadgets. It never has shown a context menu (we've always had to code our own).

But it would be nice for us to be able to trap right-click events anyway, for other reasons.

In Linux and MacOS a right click into an EditorGadget already displays a context menu automatically. How to display it in Windows (and cross-platform) I have demonstrated already with screenshots in this posting.

I know we can code our own (I even said that above). But it would be nice to get right-click events anyway for it, so we can do other things than just show a menu.
