Ok, assuming you want this on mouse down, don't use SWT.MenuDetect or
Control.setMenu(). Instead, call Menu.setVisible() from inside an
SWT.MouseDown handler when button == 2. NOTE: Doing this will make your
users mad because your application will not be using the platform specific
mouse and key sequences to request a popup menu. For example, on Windows
it's right button up, on Linux right button down, on a single button Mac
Ctrl+Click etc.

.... or Shift+F10 - please don't forget the keyboard
equivalents (presumably Linux and Mac have their own).

IIRC a MenuDetect event doesn't distinguish keyboard
from mouse origination, yet gives you mouse coords which
may be over the wrong widget :-/ for which I can find
no workaround.

I know, I know, I should go find the bug and vote for it,
but since you were quite rightly recommending MenuDetect,
I thought you might be susceptible to being reminded that
it ain't all there yet :-)

Thanks a lot!I have successfully changed popupmenu to mouse middle-key,But
another question is:

On Unix,when click mouse middle-key ,the popupmenu popup, hold the
middle-key then release the middle-key,the selected menuitem on popupmenu
can not be selected,in order to select the menuItem,it muse click the
right-key or the left-key,

how can I make the menuIitem in popupmenu invoked by the middle-key
released event?!

Over the wrong widget? The x and y coordinates are in screen coordinates.
Is that the problem?

This seems like a bug in GTK (I assume you are using GTK). It's another
good reason not to fight the operating system. Please enter a problem
report with a stand alone snippet that shows the problem. Thanks.
