[RBASE-L] - Re: Can Rbase distinguish between a mouse click and a [CTRL] mouse click?

[Michael J. Sinclair, MD]

I do have a work around, but perhaps there is a better one. I have bunch on Variable Images on a form. I would like to be able to use a CTRL-Mouse Click to pick and choose which ones to highlight, and then after they are highligted, perform some action, ie print, fax, delete, etc.
My work around has been to place a 3d box behind each, and use the property command to change the color of the 3d box with a right click. I can then use the getproperty command to see which have been highlighted and then do my task. Not quite as nice as using a CTRL-CLICK, to highlight things (as is common in Windows), but it works.
How would you do it?
