Delphi Tip:

About TMouseButton Type:
[type TMouseButton = (mbLeft, mbRight, mbMiddle);]

Unit Controls.

You can use TMouseButton type to find out which mouse
button was clicked.

You can add this code to the forms OnMouseDown event.

procedure TForm1.FormMouseDown(Sender: TObject; Button: TMouseButton;
  Shift: TShiftState; X, Y: Integer);
begin
  case Button of
      mbRight :  Label1.Caption := 'You clicked the Right Button!';
      mbLeft :   Label1.Caption := 'You clicked the Left Button!';
      mbMiddle : Label1.Caption := 'You clicked the Middle Button!';
  end;
end;

More Delphi Tips from Greg Lief:
==========
PREVENTING MAIN FORM FLICKER WHEN USING APPLICATION.TERMINATE
Q. When I create my application's main form, I test for a specific
condition.
If it is invalid, then I shut down my application:

procedure TMainForm.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  if not SomeCondition then
   Application.Terminate;
end;

But even though I call Application.Terminate, I still can see the main
form flash upon
the screen before the app actually shuts down. Why is that happening?
Is there anything that I can do to get rid of it?

PROGRAMMATICALLY SELECTING MULTIPLE ROWS/BOOKMARKS IN A TDBGRID
Q. I have a DBGrid whose Options property includes the dgMultiSelect
flag.
To save the user time I would like to add a button that selects all
records.
But I cannot figure out how to do this programmatically. Can you help?
