My last post is absurd.  I have been looking at code for too long.  

CXTPControlEditCtrl is derived from CEdit.  Sorry about that.


I did come up with a way to get the context menu instead of the menu pop up:

1.  Make a custom derived CXTPControlEdit and the EditControl class that CreateEditControl() will return (this class isderived from CXTPControlEditCtrl).  See the User Guide:  Chapter 4 - How to Add Custom Command Bar Controls to Your Application.

2.  The edit control class (the one derived from CXTPControlEditCtrl) should override the OnRButtonDown() handler (ON_WM_RBUTTONDOWN()).

3.  Then just call the CXTPEdit::OnRButtonDown() instead of the CXTPControlEditCtrl::OnRButtonDown (CXTPControlEditCtrl's method creates the menu that has Cut, Paste, etc...  Take a look at the source for it.)

4.  Override the OnContextMenu() handler (ON_WM_CONTEXTMENU()) inaccordance with however you want your context menu to look.  Seehttp://www.codeproject.com/editctrl/cmenuedit.asp

5.  Run it and you will see your context menu.

Here are a few keywords for people searching for this solution:
copy, paste, cut, toolbar, context menu, edit, right click,ShowContextMenu, CXTPEdit, ID_EDIT_CUT, ID_EDIT_COPY, ID_EDIT_PASTE,default context menu

I have a CXTPControlEditCtrl in a toolbar that displays adefault context menu when I right click on it.  I would like toprovide a custom context menu, but I am unsure how to do it.  IfCXTPControlEditCtrl was derived from CEdit instead ofCXTPControl I would know what do do.  Can anyone help me?

Here is an article on how to do it normally:
