How to handle events to a custom menu ?


Recommended Posts

Hi everybody. I'm turning around this little unsolved problem I got last

week and still can't figure it out. So I thought maybe someone in here would

have an idea of how exactly to cure my soul of this unanswered mystery of mine.

The script below create a new menu in your scite window called "autoit".

It have one item.

I would need now to assign an event to the item when user click it ?

Any idea how to listen for these events ?

#include <WinAPI.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <Misc.au3>
#include <GuiMenu.au3>
#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
Opt('GuiOnEventMode',1)
; '[CLASS:SciTEWindow]'






$hWnd = WinGetHandle('[CLASS:SciTEWindow]')
$hMain = _GUICtrlMenu_GetMenu($hWnd)

Local Enum $iditem1 = 100000
$hMenu = _GUICtrlMenu_CreateMenu()
_GUICtrlMenu_InsertMenuItem($hMenu,0,'Item 1',$iditem1)


_GUICtrlMenu_InsertMenuItem($hMain, 9, "&AutoIt", 0, $hMenu)

_GUICtrlMenu_DrawMenuBar($hWnd)

$dll = DllOpen('user32.dll')
While Not _IsPressed(23,$dll) ; Press end to terminate script and remove menu
    Sleep(100)
WEnd



DllClose($dll)
_GUICtrlMenu_RemoveMenu($hMain,9)

Read through this topic, you'll get the handle of it. Generally, the system will notify your hook when a menu is about to be opened or close. You're free to do what ever is possible to be done. If you want better control on the process, you need to hook into the window's message loop, but AutoIt cannot be used to compile a dll library. You'll have to create your own and handle the stuff you want there. Then you can use AutoIt to hook the window using this dll.
