📄 Description

Patch Introduction: New Event: WhenLeftUp

Objective:
This patch introduces the WhenLeftUp event to enhance customization options for client code.

Purpose:
The event enables developers to implement contextual actions for selected text, akin to the behavior seen in modern text editors and word processors like Microsoft Word. For instance, upon selecting text, a small menu can be triggered and displayed immediately when the left mouse button is released. Of course, it is not limited to this usage. But the real rationale behind it is this.

Immediately available in:

DocEdit
LineEdit (and its derivatives, e.g. CodeEditor)
RichEdit

A simple example:

#include <CtrlLib/CtrlLib.h>

using namespace Upp;

GUI_APP_MAIN
{
	TopWindow w;
	DocEdit   e;
	e <<= "Hello world;";
	e.WhenLeftUp = [&] { if(e.IsSelection()) MenuBar::Execute([&](Bar& menu) { e.StdBar(menu); }, GetMousePos()); };
	w.Sizeable().Zoomable().SetRect(0, 0, 800, 600);
	w.Add(e.SizePos());
	w.Run();
}

In the above example I used DocEdit::StdBar, but the real purpose is to allow setting up other types of menus and "tool" bars.

This patch is proposed for the next release cycle.

Please review.
