So let me see if I get it.
Start the timer on mouseDown... and invalidate it on mouseUp, got that.. now
the performholdAction method that you declared in the example, I call it from
within...... ??? because I guess in this method I will check if the time its
already 1 sec and show the menu...
Thanks for the help
G..
PS.. I need a after lunch coffee!!
