INQ-CLICKPOSITION Action

This document covers the following topics:


Description

Returns the x-axis and the y-axis position where the end user has clicked (relative to the dialog element's rectangle). These coordinates are also updated immediately before a context-menu's before-open event is called. The application can then combine this call with a call to either INQ-ITEM-BY-POSITION or TABLE-INQUIRE-CELL to determine which list box item or Table Control cell was right-clicked.
