What is a good way of creating a right-click-menu?

[Zephir]

Hello fellows,

I am working on a little project and wanted to implement a right click menu ala windows. Since I did not find anything premade in autoit (it does have a nice right click on tray icon menu option though) I decided to make my own.

Now my idea ís to having a while loop constantly listening to the users right mouse button. once it is clicked a little GUI is created at mouse coordinates with little buttons on it. Since this menu will only pop up if the right click is performed within the main GUI I do not have to block the windows context menu.

What do you think? Is this the best way of doing it? I doubt it. Do not see a better option right now though. Please give me a hint

Thank you,

Zephir

Step 1: Download the latest stable version of AutoIt (3.2.10.0 at the time of this posting)

Step 2: Search the helpfile for GuiCtrlCreateContextMenu

Step 3: Profit
