Can I intercept the right click on a component? I see mention of right clicks on grids, but can't see any documentation on it.

I'd like to be able to add a pop-up menu on my folder tree to allow changes to details like it's name.

Hi Mathew,

I use Mouse Down events on my Grid.

procedure MouseDown(Sender: TObject; Button: Integer; ShiftKey, CtrlKey, AltKey: Boolean; X, Y: Integer);
begin
  if  Button = mb_Right then begin
   //
   Menu1.Visible := True;
   Menu1.Top := Y + Grid1.Top;
   Menu1.Left := X;

You often will want to disable the default right-click handler.  How to do that is documented with Google, I haven't translated it to EWB yet because I don't need it for my intended browser.
