wxMac right click emulation

[Stefan Csomor]

Hi
 

	I figured out why my left mouse button drag was being called a
right mouse button drag by wxWidgets. I was pressing Control while
dragging, which turns out to be a key combination that emulates right
clicking on mouse button starved Macs -- it worked fine in Windows and
Linux. Is it possible to distinguish between left and right
click/dragging while holding Control down using wxMac? 
	
	The current behavior breaks the ideal of code working the same
everywhere, and is very confusing to non-native Mac developers.
	
	Perhaps, to keep old code working, the function signature could
be changed from 
	
	bool wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown();
	to
	bool wxMouseEvent::LeftIsDown(bool dont_emulate = false);
	
	Then, emulation is still around, but people who really want to
know what is going on can get the straight dope.  

try control-dragging eg in the finder. You will get a context menu
immediately, ie a right-click behaviour, this is native platform
behaviour. The add-drag gesture that is done using Ctrl-Drag on MSW on
Mac is done as Option-Drag. This is eg correctly encapsulated in the
wxDropSource implementation. 
 
What does control-drag mean in your application ?
 
Best,
 
Stefan
