Hello All!
I am wondering if there is a way to make lines of text within an entire
window easily selectable? I have a list of items, displayed one on each
line, and I'd like to have the user right, left, or double click on a line
and have it either display as "selected" or display a popup menu.
Right now I'm storing the area of displayed text as a kind of logical mouse
region and manually checking for clicks. It works, but I thought there
might be an easier way, because when I look at things like the Project
window in the Borland C++/2 IDE it seems like they use a better method for
handling this kind of thing. Are they just being more thorough or are they
using a feature of OS/2 that I am unaware of?
