Disable Right Click Menu

[fmen]

While 1

If _IsPressed('02') = 1 AND $i[0] = @DesktopWidth -1 Then GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, "Guit")

Sleep(10)

WEnd

This is part of a gui that allows a customized menu to pop up when I right click the right edge of the desktop. Problem is that the Windows right-click munu also pops up.

Is there a way of disabling the Windows right-click munu under these circumstances ie only when I click the right edge of the desktop window? Thanks.

The dirty workaround would be sending "ESC" to close it.

Thanks. If timed just right with sleep (100), the {ESC} is OK most times, but yes it is dirty. There has got to be a better way.

The best way to do this is through Group Policy editor, gpedit.msc. It is buried in there somewhere , but I don't remember offhand where.

Here's the direct registry key in response to jftuga:

Edit: It takes effect immediately, but I don't see an easy way to undo the change unless you restart explorer (after removing/changing the resistry key back).

Have you considered a borderless window, with either the transparency set high or containing a pic control with a transparent gif, say 10 or 20 pixels wide and the height of the screen? This would keep the o/s from

hogging your message w/o a global registry hack.

I haven't tested, but think that all the necessary capability is directly built in or available through dllcall.
