Launch menu-app with right-clicking in DWM

Question

I'd like to be able to right-click inside dwm, as in a regular desktop environment setup, and launch the menu-app mygtkmenu. I know it's possible to bind a keyboard shortcut to run it, but i'd rather use the mouse for that. Are there any patches for dwm or perhaps applications to emulate this feature?
Any tips are appreciated.

Answer 1

The easiest thing to do is to make a right click on the clock or status text launch your program, such as:
        static const char *mymenucmd[]  = { "mygtkmenu", NULL };
       { ClkStatusText,        0,              Button3,        spawn,          {.v = mymenucmd } },
Or you can have a middle click on the client window launch your program:
       static const char *mymenucmd[]  = { "mygtkmenu", NULL };
      { ClkClientWin,         0,      Button2,        spawn,          {.v = mymenucmd } },
DWM has pretty good mouse support built in.
