Hello,

we are using version v10.1 of the ActiveX toolkit in a C# environment.

We have created a tabbed MDI interface and now we want to right click a tab so we can show a popmenu/contextmenu with for example a Close option, so we can close the current selected tab.

Can anyone tell me if and how we can accomplish this?

Thanks very much.

Cheers,

Martin

Catch the RClick event of the tabbed workspace, then you can display a popup. Here is the VB6 code....

Private Sub Workspace_RClick(ByVal Item As XtremeCommandBars.ITabControlItem)
    If Not Item Is Nothing Then
        Debug.Print Item.Caption
        Item.Selected = True
        Workspace.Refresh

        Dim Popup As CommandBar
        Dim Control As CommandBarControl

        Set Popup = CommandBars.Add("Popup", xtpBarPopup)

        With Popup.Controls
            .Add xtpControlButton, ID_FILE_NEW_FILE, "&New", -1, False
            .Add xtpControlButton, ID_FILE_CLOSE, "Close", -1, False
            Set Control = .Add(xtpControlButton, 35002, "&Workspace Actions")
            Control.BeginGroup = True
        End With

        Popup.ShowPopup
        Workspace.Refresh
    End If
End Sub

Hey,

thanks for your quick reply!

I got it working in my C# project.

However, is there any way I can query the X and Y coords of the mouse cursor within C#?

Because now I use unmanaged code using the imported GetCursorPos API function, and I'd rather not use unmanaged code....

Edit: Or better yet, keep the popup "attached" to the tab, so that when I rightclick it on a non-active tab it doesn't show there, but on the active tab. Hope I make sense

TIA,

mace
