What API's ...!! Can you clarify more ...

 

Best regards

I am trying to put together a ribbon sample in PB.  Can you lend any advice as to an approach?  You mentioned API calls.  Are you calling them as external function calls?  A quick example would be very helpful if you have it available.  Thanks in advance for you time/input.

 

Thanks for your imput all, but I guess there is no solution to this issue.\

 

So I decided to move forward and re-develop the PB Context Menus as Commandbar context menus, of course this require a lot of effort and time but I am sure the result will be great and impresive ....

 

Best regards,

The Mouse-Coordinates in Down/Up/Move-events are normally always relative to the controls position.

The ShowPopup-Method needs the absolute screen-coordinates.

 

If you don't use the x- and y-positions in the ShowPopup, CJ grabs the actual absolute mouse-coordinates.

 

If you give the positions by yourself, you need to calculate the controls-coordinates to the screen-coordinates.

In Windows-API you can use ClientToScreen-Function.

 

Or you get the actual absolute-position by yourself:

 

Public Type POINTAPI
        x As Long
        y As Long
End Type

Public Declare Function ClientToScreen Lib "user32" Alias "ClientToScreen" (ByVal hwnd As Long, lpPoint As POINTAPI) As Long

Public Declare Function GetCursorPos Lib "user32" Alias "GetCursorPos" (lpPoint As POINTAPI) As Long

 

OK, now I understand. It could be possible that CJ controls affect the behaviour of other controls. I have a simular issue with forms that should stay on top (like Windows Taskmanager) but that isn't working anymore. I think this has to do something with DockingPanes...

 

I think you need a support member to answer this one, good luck

 

 

I have this project without CJ-Commandbars and the PB context menus working just fine (English/Arabic.).

 

Actually I belive that CJ is affecting PB in a funny way, I try to place an image of the ribbon on the MDI window I did this before for PB using windows API's and it was fine, but with CJ it flicks !!!

 

I can live without the image, but not without the PB context menus, it will need a lot of effort to re-develop the same logic using CJ-Commandbars.

 

Regards,

 

 

Well you're right, you mentioned this once, this is about PB context menu but then I have to ask myself: what has this to do with CJ commandbars? If my VB popupmenu doesn't function as should I don't ask CJ for a solution. They can't help it when VB PopupMenu method doesn't work properly... I think you have to check your own code...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sorry to grap your attention back to the content of the issue, if you read carfully you will find that I am talking about PB Context menu not Commandbars Context Menu ....

 

Thanks for your feedback anyway ...

 

Best,

 

 

I'm sorry, I don't have PowerBuilder . I'm the one who is complaining that members don't show their info and now there is one who did add it, I'm not reading it....

 

Anyway...

 

I see you want to show popup with x & y positions:

 

 

Syntax of ShowPopup is:

 

Public Function ShowPopup( _
   Optional ByVal Flags As Variant, _
   Optional ByVal x As Variant, _
   Optional ByVal y As Variant _
) As Long

And you pass the first two params as x & y

You should pass it through second and third param

 

I think that's the real problem  But if you dont use them, popup menu will be shown (standard) on mouse position

 

Just use: lm_ShortCuts.m_tv.popmenu

 

 

use

 

lm_ShortCuts.m_tv.popmenu(<optional flag>, iw_MDI.pointerx(),iw_MDI.pointery())
