Hello all,

like someone has written in another message in the forum:

The Syntax Edit control is really o.k., but why couldn't it reach 99%

instead of stopping at 95%.

Another small issue (like the 2 from yesterday):

The context menu key from the keyboard doesn't work

(this can be seen e.g. in the "MDITextEditor" sample where there's

source code to try to handle the case, but the message never comes to

there).

The reason is, that "CXTPSyntaxEditCtrl::OnContextMenu" does

...

if (m_pParentWnd && rcWnd.PtInRect(point))

{

CWnd::HideCaret();

m_pParentWnd->SendMessage(WM_CONTEXTMENU,

(WPARAM)pWnd->GetSafeHwnd(),

(LPARAM)MAKELONG(point.x, point.y));

...

and if the point is (-1,-1) (due to invocation from keyboard)
the context menu message is never send to the parent e.g.

the edit view.

Ok, again, it can be workaround (with or without changing the

library source code). But it would be much nicer if it would be

o.k. out of the box.

Best regards
