The only method I found was to subclass the WM_CONTEXTMENU message of the EditHwnd during the RequestEdit event. I think CJ will have to add a property to make this easier, unless I missed something.

Hi Jason,
 
Thanks for reply. If I would subclass the WM_CONTEXTMENU message, would it be possible to change the captions of buttons (Copy,Paste etc etc)?
 
I'm asking this because I need to change application language during runtime. All works OK except for rightclicking a property string and SystemMenu (I was hoping on Oleg 's reply in some CommandBars subforum )
 
Thanks a lot

Hi Aaron,

You can create a completely custom menu using the CommandBars control (for example) and show that in place of the default context menu. I've put together a sample app here:

uploads/20090415_110906_SubclassPropert.zip

Using this method, showing just about any kind of context menu should be possible. The unfortunate side-effect is subclassing in the IDE is no fun, but there are safe-subclassing libraries out there you can use to make life easier.

Hi Jason,
 
Thanks a lot for sample project  It's a nice option to have but I have to know if this is a "safe" way of doing this? Do you use this code yourself?
I hope you are using it  If so, I have only the system menu to worry about, but maybe CJ has an alternative...
 
Thank you

Hi Aaron, the code is "safe" in the sense that it will work perfectly in your compiled EXE. It is "unsafe" in the sense that you can't break your program execution in the IDE to debug while the subclasser is active (when the edit window is visible), because it will crash the VB6 IDE. There are subclassing DLLs out there that prevent this problem, but then you add a dependency to your distribution. In any case, a CJ alternative (such as a UseDefaultContextMenu property) would be ideal.

Hi Jason,
 
I know the "downside" of subclassing,  that's why I minimize the use...  But in my case I have to do something, it doesn't look great when all my strings have translations of selected language and Popupmenu items aren't translated :( 
I really want to make this work so I can select different languages during runtime.
 
Maybe CJ will take care of this and create property for ContextMenu, would be nice option to have
 
btw I also tried your code with wndReportControl.InplaceEditHwnd but this doesn't work as with PropertyGrid control ?!?
 
Thanks again

You can use this for IDE safe subclassing

Sorry Aaron, I missed the part of your post that said it doesn't work with the ReportControl...I'll take a look and see if I can get it working.

Try this:


Private Sub ReportControl1_BeginEdit(ByVal Row As XtremeReportControl.IReportRow, ByVal Column As XtremeReportControl.IReportColumn, ByVal Item As XtremeReportControl.IReportRecordItem)
   HookContextMenu Me.ReportControl1.InplaceEditHwnd
End Sub

Private Sub ReportControl1_EditCanceled(ByVal Row As XtremeReportControl.IReportRow, ByVal Column As XtremeReportControl.IReportColumn, ByVal Item As XtremeReportControl.IReportRecordItem)
   UnhookContextMenu
End Sub


Seems to work here.

Hi Jason,
 
Thanks for checking this  I am sure I did the same as you suggested (I had still the events showing in my test project) and it didn't work. Well I tried again and it works same way as with PropertyGrid control.
 
Thanks again.
