Description:

Note:

Warning:

Reimplemented from os::View.

void PopupMenu::MouseDown	(	const Point &	cPos,
		uint32	nButtons
	)			`[virtual]`

Description:: This member is called from the window thread whenever a mouse button is clicked above the view. You can overload this member if your view need to know about mouse-down events.

: A view will not automatically take focus when clicked so if you want that behaviour you must call MakeFocus() from an overloaded version of this member.

: The default implementation of this member will call MouseDown() on it's parent view if one exists.

Parameters:

	cPosition	Mouse position in the views coordinate system at the time the mouse was pressed.
	nButtons	Index of the pressed button. Buttons start at 1 for the left button, 2 for the right button, 3 for the middle button. Additional buttons might be supported by the mouse driver and will then be assigned numbers from 4 and up.

Reimplemented from os::View.

void PopupMenu::MouseUp	(	const Point &	cPosition,
		uint32	nButtons,
		Message *	pcData
	)			`[virtual]`

Description:: This member is called from the window thread whenever a mouse button is released above the view. You can overload this member if your view need to know about mouse-up events or if your view support drag and drop.

: If mouse-up was the result of ending a drag and drop operation the pcData member will point to a Message containing the dragged data. Look at BeginDrag() for a more detailed description of the drag and drop system.

: The default implementation of this member will call MouseDown() on it's parent view if one exists.

Parameters:

	cPosition	Mouse position in the views coordinate system at the time the mouse was pressed.
	nButtons	Index of the pressed button. Buttons start at 1 for the left button, 2 for the right button, 3 for the middle button. Additional buttons might be supported by the mouse driver and will then be assigned numbers from 4 and up.
	pcData	Pointer to a Message object containing the dragged data if this mouse-up was the end of a drag and drop operation. If no data was dragged it will be NULL.

Reimplemented from os::View.

void PopupMenu::MouseMove	(	const Point &	cPosition,
		int	nCode,
		uint32	nButtons,
		Message *	pcData
	)			`[virtual]`

Description:: This member is called from the window thread whenever the mouse is moved above the view or if the view has focus.

: Oveload this member if your view need to handle mouse-move events.

: The default implementation of this member will call MouseMove() on it's parent view if one exists.

Parameters:

	cNewPos	New mouse position given in the views coordinate system.
	nCode	Enter/exit code. This is MOUSE_ENTERED when the mouse first enter the view, MOUSE_EXITED when the mouse leaves the view, MOUSE_INSIDE whenever the mouse move withing the boundary of the view and MOUSE_OUTSIDE when the mouse move outside the view (will only happen if the view has focus).
	nButtons	Bitmask telling which buttons that are currently pressed. Bit 0 is button 1 (left), bit 1 is button 2 (right), and bit 2 is button 3 (middle), and so on.
	pcData	Pointer to a Message object containing the dragged data if the user is in the middle of a drag and drop operation. Otherwise this pointer is NULL. Look at BeginDrag() for a more detailed description of the drag and drop system.
