wxPython - is it possible to determine List Box item under a right click?

I have a list box, I'd like to generate a right click menu for items in
the list box. The problem is unless I left click the item first, I
can't figure out which item in the list I clicked over. So it seems to
me, I need to determine the which item I right clicked over, perform a
setselected on the listbox object and then run my right-click menu.
(I'd like a right-click to also serve as selection)
The originating object is obvioiusly the List box, but I can get the
mouse position from the event.

The problem is, the only thing I can think that might work is to pull
the list font object, calculate the sizes of items in the list and
"guess" which list item is under the mouse. This seems really really
ugly.

Any suggestions? Should I bind elswhere? Should I just build my own
list box?

I have a control based on wx.Panel something like - no this doesn't
run ;

class myPanel (wx.Panel):
def __init(self):
wx.Panel.__init __(self)
self.myList = wx.ListBox()
self.myList.foo - populate list

self.myList.Bin d(wx.EVT_RIGHT_ DOWN, self.ListRIghtC licked)

def ListRightClicke d(self,event):

mousePos = event.GetPositi on()

# wtf do I do with the position?
magic = doSomething?

self.myList.Set Selected(Magic)

self.PopupMenu( myMenu(),mouseP os)

In case someone finds this - My own solution to this was to use a
wx.ListCtrl - it's a bit more work, but the mixin's are quite handy
for my purposes, also a right click causes selection for ListCtrl - so
it's nice and clean

Hello. I am working on an XML editor that will not display the xml file as plain text, but will rather work with a combination of a tree view for the main element nodes and some kind of tabular view to view attributes. By this way, the user (i.e. me) will only have the opportunity to change textual contents and attribute values, but neither element nor attribute names. Building the tree view was not a problem, but I haven´t found a good...

We have a simple site. It's a frameset with two frames a left and a right. The left frame is essentially a list of records from a database (using a server-side repeater control). When you click on one of the items in the left frame, it targets the right frame and displays a form prefilled with information for the item you clicked. The problem is the left frame's list just shows the names of the items, and the name of the item is...

Hi My project has a form, two list boxes (lstArchive and lstSchedule) and two buttons (btnSendArchive and btnSendSchedule) Each list box represents the content of a directory. The command buttons move the selected item out of one directory and into the other and refreshes the list boxes to reflect the change in directory contents I now want to add "context menu" functionality to the list boxes to preform

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
