Context menu for Tabs?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Is there an easy way to add a context menu for the MDI tabs so that a user can right cick on them and display a menu for the selected tab, specifically I would like a 'close' option?  This would also be useful for the tab control too. Thanks.

	ON_MESSAGE(WM_XTP_PRETRANSLATEMOUSEMSG, OnWorkspaceMouseMsg) LRESULT CMainFrame::OnWorkspaceMouseMsg(WPARAM wParam,LPARAM lParam) { CPoint point = CPoint((DWORD)lParam); CXTPTabManagerItem* pItem = m_MTIClientWnd.HitTest(point); if (pItem) { if (wParam == WM_RBUTTONDOWN) { CWnd* pFrame = CWnd::FromHandle(pItem->GetHandle()); MDIActivate(pFrame); m_MTIClientWnd.Refresh(); CMenu menuPopup; VERIFY(menuPopup.LoadMenu(IDR_WORKSAPCE_POPUP)); m_MTIClientWnd.WorkspaceToScreen(&point); CXTPCommandBars::TrackPopupMenu(menuPopup.GetSubMenu(0), 0, point.x, point.y, this); m_MTIClientWnd.Refresh(); return TRUE; } return FALSE; } return FALSE; }

	Thanks Oleg, that's just what I needed. :) I would also like to do the same for the CXTPTabControl tabs, any idea how? Thanks.

	Only to override CXTPTabControl and its PreTranslateMessage BOOL CTabControl2::PreTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg) { if (pMsg->message == WM_LBUTTONDOWN \|\| pMsg->message == WM_RBUTTONDOWN \|\| pMsg->message == WM_MBUTTONDOWN \|\| pMsg->message == WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK \|\| pMsg->message == WM_RBUTTONDBLCLK) { if (pMsg->hwnd != m_hWnd) return CXTPTabControl ::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg); // doo something. } } return CXTPTabControl ::PreTranslateMessage(pMsg); }

	Thanks Oleg, overriding PreTranslateMessage() and using the HitTest() function allows me to identify the tab being clicked, so I should be able to display a tab specific menu. :) Thanks again.
