How to respond to Context Menu selection ...!!

 

Regards

 

 

Add Execute event handler.

 

Could You elaborate more, an example will be great ...

 

Actually, I added an event handler to the commandbar execute event, and it works for all toolbar buttons, but for the context it sometimes fire and sometimes not ...!!

Did you create your menu in code or did you just dropped a Commandbars control and let CB create the menu for you?

 

I did the last option and found there are a couple of strange things happening see my post: https://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11986 - https://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11986

 

 

I create the full Context Menu in Code ...

Is it cona be different to create those context as popup menus in the Active menubar itself ??? I 'll give it a try ....

 

Best,

 

Yes, you can. I have a mainmenu with items, same items can be shown as toolbar and/or context menu.  

 

Just call:

CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.Controls(ID_POPUP_CONTROL).CommandBar.ShowPopup

 

for showing contextmenu

 

Just call:

CommandBarsViewEditor.ActiveMenuBar.Controls(ID_POPUP_CONTROL).CommandBar.SetTearOffPopup "Caption of toolbar", SOME_ID, 500
           

for possibility to tearoff toolbar

 

 

 

 

I try the Popup Menu it works fine as Popup menu up in the active menu bar, but not as Context Menu, Still behave the same .... !!!

 

Funny, isn't it ....

 

Ideas ......

 

/Edit:

 

Thanks Aaron they both works fine ...

CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.Controls(1).CommandBar.ShowPopup()

&

CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.Controls(1).CommandBar.SetTearOffPopup("Tree Options", 20000, 500)

 

It is strange that the Context Menu is not behaving the same !!!

 

Not a problem as long as It surve the purpose, right ...

 

Thanks again Aaron.

 

 

try not specify x and y to allow commandbars use cursor coordintes. guess problem in your calculation fo these x and y.

 

I am doomed !!!

 

The Popup menu solution to be used as context menu has been successful so far, until I decided to hide the Active menu bar....

 

I can't used the popup menus anymore ...

 

any ideas, I am ... doomed

 

Best regards,

 

 

I justed tested this and it works with STANDARD VB MENU  So I expect... it should be working when creating a menu in code.

 

 

 

If I put it back to True, I can ....

 

what is the problem the Menubar can be exist but not visible, right ...

 

Best regards

 

Yes it should be. Do you create contextmenu in code as well? Or create it when necessary? If you do, try to loop Commandbar.Controls collection and check if there are any...

 

 

 

 

 

I don't use context Menus, I used the Popup menu from the one attahced to the ActiveMenuBar.

 

and it is created in code ...

 

regards,

 

 

You can also copy buttons into your popmenu and also check if they exist. I have only VB code to show you but maybe you understand it anyway.

 

Dim Control As CommandBarControl

Dim ContextControl As CommandBarControl
Dim Popup As CommandBar

        Set Control = CommandBars.ActiveMenuBar.FindControl(, ID_POPUPCONTROL)
        If Control Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
        Set Popup = CommandBars.Add("Popup", xtpBarPopup)
        For Each ContextControl In Control.CommandBar.Controls
            ContextControl.Copy Popup
        Next
        Popup.ShowPopup
