TeddyTech Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I have a problem with a context menu. When I right click on the form the context menu opens and responds properly. (This code is based on the help file sample.) However, when I right click on a button the context menu opens but it does not respond. Ideally, I would like to have the context menu respond properly whenever it is opened. If that is not possible, then I want to keep the context menu from opening when right-clicking over a button. (I have searched the forums and the help files, but cannot figure this one out.) (And, as an aside, why does posting my code using the "AutoIt Code" option strip out the #include file names?) Thanks! Here is a stripped-down test version of my code: expandcollapse popup#include <GuiMenu.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WinAPI.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> Global Enum $idOpen = 1000, $idSave, $idInfo _Main() Func _Main() ; Create GUI GUICreate("Menu", 400, 300) GUICtrlCreateButton("LCDAMVS", 0,0) GUISetState() ; Register message handlers GUIRegisterMsg($WM_COMMAND, "WM_COMMAND") GUIRegisterMsg($WM_CONTEXTMENU, "WM_CONTEXTMENU") ; Loop until user exits Do Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE EndFunc ;==>_Main ; Handle WM_COMMAND messages Func WM_COMMAND($hWnd, $iMsg, $iwParam, $ilParam) #forceref $hWnd, $iMsg, $ilParam Switch $iwParam Case $idOpen _WinAPI_ShowMsg("Open") Case $idSave _WinAPI_ShowMsg("Save") Case $idInfo _WinAPI_ShowMsg("Info") EndSwitch EndFunc ;==>WM_COMMAND ; Handle WM_CONTEXTMENU messages Func WM_CONTEXTMENU($hWnd, $iMsg, $iwParam, $ilParam) #forceref $hWnd, $iMsg, $ilParam Local $hMenu $hMenu = _GUICtrlMenu_CreatePopup() _GUICtrlMenu_InsertMenuItem($hMenu, 0, "Open", $idOpen) _GUICtrlMenu_InsertMenuItem($hMenu, 1, "Save", $idSave) _GUICtrlMenu_InsertMenuItem($hMenu, 3, "", 0) _GUICtrlMenu_InsertMenuItem($hMenu, 3, "Info", $idInfo) _GUICtrlMenu_TrackPopupMenu($hMenu, $iwParam) _GUICtrlMenu_DestroyMenu($hMenu) Return True EndFunc ;==>WM_CONTEXTMENU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted January 4, 2013 Moderators Share Posted January 4, 2013 TeddyTech,Your problem arises because you are using $iwParam as the parameter for the _GUICtrlMenu_TrackPopupMenu command. According to MSDN this is "A handle to the window in which the user right-clicked the mouse. This can be a child window of the window receiving the message". So you are asking GUIRegisterMsg to intercept the WM_CONTEXTMENU message for the whole GUI and then passing the button handle to the context menu function when you click over it. Two solutions:- 1. Pass the GUI handle to the context menu function - now the menu works everywhere:expandcollapse popup#include <GuiMenu.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> Global Enum $idOpen = 1000, $idSave, $idInfo Global $hGUI = 9999 _Main() Func _Main() ; Create GUI $hGUI = GUICreate("Menu", 400, 300) GUICtrlCreateButton("LCDAMVS", 0, 0) GUISetState() ; Register message handlers GUIRegisterMsg($WM_COMMAND, "WM_COMMAND") GUIRegisterMsg($WM_CONTEXTMENU, "WM_CONTEXTMENU") ; Loop until user exits Do Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE EndFunc ;==>_Main ; Handle WM_COMMAND messages Func WM_COMMAND($hWnd, $iMsg, $iwParam, $ilParam) #forceref $hWnd, $iMsg, $ilParam Switch $iwParam Case $idOpen MsgBox(0, "", "Open") Case $idSave MsgBox(0, "", "Save") Case $idInfo MsgBox(0, "", "Info") EndSwitch EndFunc ;==>WM_COMMAND ; Handle WM_CONTEXTMENU messages Func WM_CONTEXTMENU($hWnd, $iMsg, $iwParam, $ilParam) #forceref $hWnd, $iMsg, $ilParam Local $hMenu $hMenu = _GUICtrlMenu_CreatePopup() _GUICtrlMenu_InsertMenuItem($hMenu, 0, "Open", $idOpen) _GUICtrlMenu_InsertMenuItem($hMenu, 1, "Save", $idSave) _GUICtrlMenu_InsertMenuItem($hMenu, 3, "", 0) _GUICtrlMenu_InsertMenuItem($hMenu, 3, "Info", $idInfo) _GUICtrlMenu_TrackPopupMenu($hMenu, $hWnd) ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< _GUICtrlMenu_DestroyMenu($hMenu) Return True EndFunc ;==>WM_CONTEXTMENU- 2. Check to see if the message is actually sent by clicking on the button - now the menu does not appear:expandcollapse popup#include <GuiMenu.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> Global Enum $idOpen = 1000, $idSave, $idInfo Global $hGUI = 9999 _Main() Func _Main() ; Create GUI $hGUI = GUICreate("Menu", 400, 300) GUICtrlCreateButton("LCDAMVS", 0, 0) GUISetState() ; Register message handlers GUIRegisterMsg($WM_COMMAND, "WM_COMMAND") GUIRegisterMsg($WM_CONTEXTMENU, "WM_CONTEXTMENU") ; Loop until user exits Do Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE EndFunc ;==>_Main ; Handle WM_COMMAND messages Func WM_COMMAND($hWnd, $iMsg, $iwParam, $ilParam) #forceref $hWnd, $iMsg, $ilParam Switch $iwParam Case $idOpen MsgBox(0, "", "Open") Case $idSave MsgBox(0, "", "Save") Case $idInfo MsgBox(0, "", "Info") EndSwitch EndFunc ;==>WM_COMMAND ; Handle WM_CONTEXTMENU messages Func WM_CONTEXTMENU($hWnd, $iMsg, $iwParam, $ilParam) #forceref $hWnd, $iMsg, $ilParam Local $hMenu ; Check we are over the GUI and not the button If $iwParam = $hGUI Then $hMenu = _GUICtrlMenu_CreatePopup() _GUICtrlMenu_InsertMenuItem($hMenu, 0, "Open", $idOpen) _GUICtrlMenu_InsertMenuItem($hMenu, 1, "Save", $idSave) _GUICtrlMenu_InsertMenuItem($hMenu, 3, "", 0) _GUICtrlMenu_InsertMenuItem($hMenu, 3, "Info", $idInfo) _GUICtrlMenu_TrackPopupMenu($hMenu, $iwParam) ; <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< _GUICtrlMenu_DestroyMenu($hMenu) Return True EndIf EndFunc ;==>WM_CONTEXTMENUAll clear? M23P.S. The forum software is to blame for the "#include stripping" - but it does not happen if you use the basic editor.

TeddyTech Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 Melba23, Thanks for the quick ... and perfect ... answer! I actually played with the parameters on _GUICtrlMenu_TrackPopupMenu() , but I must have made a mistake because it did not resolve my problem. Thanks again, TeddyTech (In case you are interested -- I'm building a toolbar application that allows me to place 1-12 windows on top of each other and toggle through them using buttons on the toolbar. The individual windows are opened on their own and this context menu is going to allow the user to select "Add" to create a button on the toolbar and add the window to the stack.)
