how write Vbscript for Mouse Right Click using UFT 11.5

Press and hold the Control (Ctrl) key while you click the mouse button. This is identical to right-clicking with a mouse. (Ctrl+click = Right click)
You can try the following:
•Click on and off the 'right click' checkbox in the Mouse System Preferences
•Restart in Safe Mode
•Reset NVRAM / PRAM

Right Click with trackpad

Recently all Macbook and Macbook Pro users got the ability to do right clicking with the trackpad. This happened with the new OSX update.
My Powerbook is still like new and I am not ready to upgrade as yet but I would like this right clicking feature. I checked out iScroll but my 2005 Powerbook is no supported.
Does anyone have any know of any software that would help me to do this..Thanks..

Yes, SideTrack enables you to assign a right-click to the trackpad, a corner of the trackpad or to the trackpad button, and all using only one finger.

How does one right click using the iPad?

how does one right click when using the iPad? I am needing this in a citrix app

You can usually just tap and hold on certain things to access the right-click menu. It works in almost all cases. :)

Right Click used to open window with "create..." new version in it

I used to be able to set the "import setting" in preferences and then just right click to change any selection to that new version. Now the setting change is no longer available when I right click on a selected file.
Something happened...but I have NO IDEA what!!!

Progress, or at least a revision. The current iTunes no longer includes the convert option in the contextual menu. You have to use the Advanced Menu to do conversions. As you noticed, not all changes appeal to everyone, and you can submit your feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

Delayed Right Click with Trackpad

I'm running a MacBook Pro 13" that I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard.
It may be small and trivial, but it does bug me. When I right click by tapping with two fingers, there is about a full second delay before the dropdown window pops up. However, if I click down on the trackpad with two fingers, it appears instantly. In the trackpad configuration in Preferences, tapping with two fingers should yield the immediate pop up. It did in Snow Leopard.
Is there any way to configure this back?

Yes, thanks for checking. I've tried just tapping with both fingers, and it doesn't work. In searching on the internet it seems that some leopards have the feature and some don't. I'd prefer just to tap, rather than tap & click, but I don't work for apple.

How do I remove an icon from the dock of an iMac 10.9.5.? Dragging doesn't work although I have tried a number of different places. I recall right clicking used to give me a remove option.

How do I remove an icon from the dock of an iMac Maverick, 10.9.5? I've tried dragging different places: desktop, finder list etc. No luck.

Drag up towards the centre of the screen & hold for a second or so. The icon will have the 'smoke cloud' appear, let go & it will be removed.
There should also be a 'Remove from Dock' option in the popup menu. It is in the 'Options' section . ctrl+click will 'right click' if right clicking is disabled.
If this is not possible the Dock is locked (this may happen on a 'Managed Mac' normally setup by a company or school etc). See your tech support in this case.

Using link event on textarea with right click

I added 'event:' to the links in a textarea.htmlText because
i need to be able to track when the link is clicked, but
unfortunately this makes the link not work if they try to right
click it to open it in a new window, it also doesn't track the
click, the 'event:' shows in the new browser window url. Is the a
way to disable rightclicking on links in a text area?

Hey there,
Make sure you have all the proper drivers installed for Boot Camp, which at this point you may have already done. Then below, is an article from Apple explaining how to right->click using BootCamp Windows. Hope this helps.

Double-click and trackpad

so if i double-click on the window title, it should allow me to drag the window, but instead it miminize it, so what is the correct way of double-click and drag?
btw, is there way i can simulate middle-click using trackpad?

well
of course i did check that before making this post
but i just can't get the dragging to work with double-tap
plus there is no middle-click simulation
is there any hack to simulate middle-click on trackpad?

Two finger right click on g4 ibook

Hi guys,
I just got an ibook g4 and was wondering if there is such an option or program I can download in order to be able to right click using two fingers on the scroll pad like the MB and MBP.

Sidetrack will allow the right click, however, I believe you lose your ability to two-finger scroll.
The FAQ states:
Q: Does SideTrack support two-finger scrolling on MacBooks and late-model PowerBooks and iBooks (2005 and later)?
A: Two-finger scrolling is a feature of the Apple driver for the USB trackpad hardware found in Apple laptops manufactured after 2005. Installing SideTrack will override the Apple driver and switch the trackpad to SideTrack's features. Support for two-finger scrolling on USB trackpads is being investigated and may appear in a future SideTrack release.
So you lose 2 finger scrolling but SideTrack allows you to scroll single finger.

Any Bootcamp issues with the new MBP? What about right clicking?

Tried out the new MBP at the Apple store... was wondering how Bootcamp would work with it. I use Bootcamp all the time for work so I'm interested to here the pro's and con's for the new models. Seems like the new trackpad clicking would be cause issues with the "two-finger click" in Bootcamp.

Right clicking issues galore!
(at least in the windows side of things...)
The 64bit windows worked fine....
The 32bit windows had many issues, even after 2 attempts. (via boot camp)
The main issue: the functions keys are locked on. Normally, I would hold down "fn" and push "f10" to mute but that doesn't work. All I have to do is hit "f10" and its muted. That is all good until I have to right-click using the "shift+f10" method since the bottom-right-of-trackpad and two-finger-clicking doesn't work whatsover. The "shift+f10" method won't work now since the fn keys are locked on. We have NO IDEA what the problem is. Could it be a driver issue...though it works fine with x64bit and OS X side of things.
Oh, and mac doesn't give support if one installs Vista and Microsoft won't give support since it isn't on a 'native' pc, so we are screwed. They have both protected themselves and blamed it on the other and the customer is left out to dry.

Right-click on Macbook Air (early 2008) with Windows XP?

I just bought a refurbished MacBook Air, early 2008 edition. I installed Windows XP Pro SP3 using Boot Camp, and everything is working perfectly, except tap-to-click and right-clicking using the trackpad. Both do not work at all, I've tried two-finger tap as well as three-finger tap for the right-click. I tried downloading the update driver from the Apple site, but it said "This update is not intended for this computer and will not be installed." Obviously, the update is meant for the late 2008 edition MacBooks.
One other interesting point is that Control Panel - Boot Camp does not have a "Trackpad' tab.
Anyone have any idea on how to fix this?

On reflection, all I probably need is the previous Trackpad driver; a prior version that is compatible with early 2008 edition of the MacBook Air. I have been unable to find this driver on the Apple site, would anyone know how I can go about getting this driver?
