Context menu customise problem

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

   Using the RibbonSample vb6 project or the vb.net equivalent, if you add the following code to the form in order to customise and handle the context menu

Private Sub CommandBars_ToolBarContextMenu(ByVal ToolBar As 
XtremeCommandBars.ICommandBar, ByVal ContextMenu As XtremeCommandBars.ICommandBar)
        ContextMenu.ShowPopup 0#, 100, 100
        ContextMenu.Controls.DeleteAll
End Sub

run the project and click on the quickaccess context menu button, the menu pops up as exepected, choose an option, then a blank menu appears, then the quickaccess context menu button cannot be clicked on again.

Have also noticed a similar problem sometimes occurs with the globe contol if a right click is done on a popupbarlist

	Hi, don't call ShowPopup from ToolBarContextMenu menu handler. Change ContextMenu controls instead - Toolkit will show popup manually.

	Hi, The reason why I was showing the popup was because the commandbar execute event did not occur when choosing commands added to the context menu, i.e. in your sample having the following code in the ToolBarContextMenu event and clicking on the commands added didnt cause the execute event to be raised. Private Sub CommandBars_ToolBarContextMenu(ByVal ToolBar As XtremeCommandBars.ICommandBar, ByVal ContextMenu As XtremeCommandBars.ICommandBar) ContextMenu.Controls.Add xtpControlButton, ID_CHAR_BOLD, "Bold" ContextMenu.Controls.Add xtpControlButton, ID_CHAR_ITALIC, "Italic" End Sub Is there something I am missing?

	The one installed here: C:\Program Files\Codejock Software\ActiveX\Xtreme SuitePro ActiveX v12.0.2\Samples\CommandBars\VB\RibbonSample The only thing it goes into the CommandBars execute event for, from the context menu, is the More Commands option

	It seems to operate as if the TPM_RETURNCMD flag is set when the popup menu is shown after the ToolBarContextMenu event is used to customise the context menu

	Seems similar to the topic https://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11984, in that the the execute event does not fire for items chosen from the context menu. It says solved there, but the solution doesnt seen to apply to the original problem of items added to the context menu not causing the execute event to fire when chosen.

	uploads/20080926_040552_RibbonSample.zip Here is a sample showing the problem. It adds a couple of items to the context menu that shows if you right click on the ribbon or on the dropdown next to the quickaccess bar. Clicking on the added items does nothing to the text, whne the expected result is to either bold or italic the text. Hope this helps to track down the problem.

	Thanks for that. The workaround we used was to show the popup ourselves, return the command and execute the selected control. This worked fine on a right click, but froze the quickaccess dropdown button so that it couldnt be used after the first use. uploads/20080929_204827_RibbonSample.zip

	Having clicked on the context manu button to show the context menu, if you hit the <Esc> key or click somewhere not on the context menu, the context menu closes, but the context menu button cannot be selected again. it remains in the selected state. If you choose an option from the context menu, the context menu button state correctly becomes unselected.
