Right click window - how to close it

[Henri.Chinasque]

Hi all,

I've made a control, and when a user right clicks it, it launches a
form with some options. I want this form to behave like typical "right
click" windows do - it should close when the user clicks a location
not on the form. The trouble is that I can only pick up clicks that
occur ON the form, so I'm at a loss as how to close it.

Any ideas?

thanks,
HC

You can use the Deactivate event of the form. which occurs when the form
loses focus and is no longer the active form. This will hapen if the user
clicks outside of the form.
