I have a CXTPControlEditCtrl in a toolbar that displays a
default context menu when I right click on it. I would like to
provide a custom context menu, but I am unsure how to do it. If
CXTPControlEditCtrl was derived from CEdit instead of
CXTPControl I would know what do do. Can anyone help me? Here is an article on how to do it normally: http://www.codeproject.com/editctrl/cmenuedit.asp - http://www.codeproject.com/editctrl/cmenuedit.asp Thanks! |

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 Edit Control class that CreateEditControl() will return (this class is derived 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()) in accordance with however you want your context menu to look. See http://www.codeproject.com/editctrl/cmenuedit.asp - http://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 |
