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.
