contextual menus on Windows - can't select items with left mouse button

[Terry Judd]

Ello,

I'm popping up contextual menus in a mouseDown handler – like so...

(much simplified)

on mouseDown theButton
     if theButton = 3 then
         displayContextualMenu
     end if
end mouseDown

on displayContextualMenu
     popup btn "myContextualMenu" of stack "myMenus"
end displayContextualMenu

...this works as expected, the menu pops up and you can select an item 
- well sort of, clicking the left mouse button has no effect whereas if 
you click the right mouse button the menuPick handler in the button is 
triggered and the handler proceeds.

Clearly I want users to be able to make selections with the left mouse 
button as well as the right - as you can with any of the IDE stacks if 
you have the 'contextual menus work in Revolution windows' option 
selected in the 'General' panel of the Rev preferences window. So, what 
am I missing?

TIA,

Terry...
