Recommended Posts

Hello my friends
Can we create a single context menu on more than one item?
For example, a context menu includes standardized options on more than one control, such as buttons or check boxes
to Create a context menu on one item am using this function
GUICtrlCreateContextMenu ($ HWND)
How to link it with more than one element please?
or if we can't do that, please give me a solution
so i tried to add an context menus to all the controls but the script will be long, for that if their are any solutions i hope to give it to me

The UDF functions are much more powerful than the built-in functions. Look at _GUICtrlMenu_TrackPopupMenu (). Add a new post if you need more help.

This is a way to create the same context menu for multiple items. Essentially create the controls on an array, then loop through them and create the context for each one that way.

; right click on gui to bring up context Menu.
; right click on the "ok" button to bring up a controll specific context menu.

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

Example()

Func Example()
GUICreate("My GUI Context Menu", 300, 200)
;=============================================================================
Global $Controls[3]
$Controls[0] = GUICtrlCreateButton('1', 10, 10, 50, 20)
$Controls[1] = GUICtrlCreateButton('2', 10, 40, 50, 20)
$Controls[2] = GUICtrlCreateButton('3', 10, 70, 50, 20)
;=============================================================================
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
;=============================================================================
For $c = 0 To UBound($Controls)-1
Local $idContextmenu = GUICtrlCreateContextMenu($Controls[$c])
Local $idNewsubmenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu("new", $idContextmenu)
Local $idNewsubmenuText = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("text", $idNewsubmenu)
Local $idMenuInfo = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Info", $idContextmenu)
ConsoleWrite($Controls[$c] &@CRLF)
Next
;=============================================================================
    While 1
        Switch GUIGetMsg()
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                ExitLoop
        EndSwitch
    WEnd
    GUIDelete()
EndFunc   ;==>Example

Could you post a reproducible script? One where i dont have to put all the necessary includes and so on?

Also, could you enclose your code with the <code> frame/tool? It's right next to the smiley face.

dear @careca
 I never ignore your example.
but on this code just the items on the last Context menu can use it because the vars are the same
if you have an other suggestions please give it to me

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
Example()

Func Example()
GUICreate("My GUI Context Menu", 300, 200)
Global $Controls[3]
$Controls[0] = GUICtrlCreateButton('1', 10, 10, 50, 20)
$Controls[1] = GUICtrlCreateButton('2', 10, 40, 50, 20)
$Controls[2] = GUICtrlCreateButton('3', 10, 70, 50, 20)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

For $c = 0 To UBound($Controls)-1
Local $idContextmenu = GUICtrlCreateContextMenu($Controls[$c])
Local $idNewsubmenu =  GUICtrlCreateMenu("new", $idContextmenu)
Local $idNewsubmenuText = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("text", $idNewsubmenu)
Local $idMenuInfo = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Info", $idContextmenu)
Next
While 1
Switch GUIGetMsg()
Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
ExitLoop
case $idMenuInfo
msgBox(0, "", "")
EndSwitch
WEnd
GUIDelete()
EndFunc

@nacerbaaziz, Please Tidy your code and use AutoIt3 in stead of plain text in the CodeBox when posting sourcecode. :)

Can you clarify what you mean? Maybe i didn't understand it correctly, i got the idea that what you want to do is create the same context menu for many items.

This is what it does, puts a context menu in the 3 buttons.

I dont know what you want to do later on, but you can differentiate between the buttons.

50%...  Correct color coding but totally unreadable as the script isn't tidied. You need to learn to properly format code to make it soooo much easier to read and understand!

Hi nacerbaaziz,

Here is a way to do it. You can add as many controls ID's as you wish in " >>>>>> The 'OR' line <<<<<<"

$hGUI = GUICreate("Menu", 400, 300)
$id_Label_1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Right click to get options in menu", 100, 50, 165)
$id_Label_2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Right click to get the same options", 100, 110, 165)

$id_Label_hard_to_find = GUICtrlCreateLabel("", 1, 1, 1, 1)
$id_Context = GUICtrlCreateContextMenu($id_Label_hard_to_find)
$id_Open = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("&Open", $id_Context)
$id_Save = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Save the &file....", $id_Context)
$id_Cut = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Move the &file....", $id_Context)
$hMenu = GUICtrlGetHandle($id_Context)

GUISetState()

While 1
    $aInfo = GUIGetCursorInfo()
    If Not @error And $aInfo[3] = 1 And _
      ($aInfo[4] = $id_Label_1 Or $aInfo[4] = $id_Label_2) Then ; >>>>>> The 'OR' line <<<<<<
        $mPos = MouseGetPos()
        DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "TrackPopupMenuEx", "hwnd", $hMenu, _
            "int", 0, "int", $mPos[0], "int", $mPos[1], "hwnd", $hGUI, "ptr", 0)
    EndIf

    Switch GUIGetMSG()
        Case -3
            Exit

        Case $id_Open
            OpenFunc()

        Case $id_Save
            SaveFunc()

        Case $id_Cut
            MoveFunc()
    EndSwitch
Wend

Func OpenFunc()
    Msgbox(0, "OpenFunc", "Here we are #1")
EndFunc

Func SaveFunc()
    Msgbox(0, "SaveFunc", "Here we are #2")
EndFunc

Func MoveFunc()
    Msgbox(0, "MoveFunc", "Here we are #3")
EndFunc

Good luck :)

careca, If you had tested your own code you would have seen that it does not work for buttons 1 and 2. You do not save ControlIds for the corresponding context menu items and are therefore unable to detect when the menu items are clicked.
