GAMBIT - Right mouse button not working on Windows platform


Within Gambit, the right mouse button does not work in the icons window, but does work in the graphics window. This problem only occurs when running on Windows via Exceed.
This resolution was taken from the Hummingbird web site:

PROBLEM:

Exceed is used to launch the Common Desktop Environment (CDE) and then the x-applications are launched. Right-clicking works in some x-applications (for example Ansys) but not in another x-application (for example Unigraphics).

Right clicking the mouse button is supposed to display a menu.

SOLUTION:

To allow the right mouse button to display a menu you are required to add a flag in the registry. Here are the steps:

1. Launch regedit and go to the following hive:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREHummingbirdConnectivity9.00Exceed
2. Create a key called Xserver
3. Create a dword called ExtraButtonSupport
4. Set the ExtraButtonSupport flag to 0

Now clicking the right mouse button will bring up a menu.
