Hi All.

I have a touch screen application where there is a need to perform a
right click to expose context menus etc. The app's main point of
interaction is a "toolbar" of buttons at the bottom of the screen (think
Mac OSX dock, or Gnome/KDE panel, etc), so I imagine sticking a Right
Click button down there.

But how would this work? I imaging sending a WM_ message for right
click, but if the user moves the cursor to the target of the right
click, and then has to press a button on the toolbar, the cursor is no
longer on the target and thus the right click message would happen on
the Right Click button on the toolbar. Essentially what I am saying is
that the cursor would move off the target object down to the toolbar
button when the right click message would be sent.

How can I have a button that I can press to perform a right click
without having the cursor move away from the target object?
