Hi Stanislav,

I see no problem to get events as kButton3Down and kButton3Double from the canvas. In the tutorials example $ROOTSYS/tutorials/guitest.C the kButton3Down is used for printing some information instead of showing the context menu when the button 3 is pressed (event kButton3Down appears). To see that:

- run guitest.C;
- select Test menu / Dialog...;
- click on Tab 3;
- fill the histograms by using Start/Stop buttons.

Then click with the right mouse button on the right - as usual you see the context menu; if you do the same on the left - some info is printed in the root prompt. Last behavior is implemented in the TestDialog::HandleEmbeddedCanvas method which is connected to the "ProcessedEvent(Int_t,Int_t,Int_t,TObject*)" signal of the canvas. You can replace the kButton3Down with kButton3Double and the information will be printed according to this setting any time the event kButton3Double appears.

Cheers, Ilka
