Context menu

[Krol]

Can i create (simple, without GUI) context menu, which will be to appear at pressing hot key?

[tAKTelapis]

So, press a hotkey, and a small menu pops up?

Yup, but its gonna need a GUI.

Just have the hotkey change the state of the GUI, from @SW_HIDE to @SW_SHOW.

Or even have it draw and destroy the GUI.

It would not be desirable to do GUI but if it is impossible to use simple context menu likely it is necessary

Something like this should start you off.

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

HotKeySet("{F2}", "Context")

$hwnd = GUICreate("", 400, 300)
GUISetState()

Do
    $Msg = GUIGetMsg()
Until $Msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

Func Context()
    Local $Pos = WinGetPos($hwnd)
    
    $C = GUICreate("", 60, 80, $Pos[2], $Pos[3])
    GUISetState()
    
    While WinExists($C)
        $cMsg = GUIGetMsg()
        Switch $cMsg
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
                GUIDelete($C)
        EndSwitch
    WEnd
EndFunc

You will need to change the Context GUI style.

made this awhile ago..

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
Global $title="Customizedcontextmenu"
HotKeySet("{End}", "Terminate")
HotKeySet("{f1}", "RClickie")
GUICreate($title, 1, 1,1,1,$WS_POPUP)


$contextmenu    = GUICtrlCreateContextMenu ()

$newsubmenu  = GUICtrlCreateMenu ("new", $contextmenu)
$textitem      = GUICtrlCreateMenuitem ("text", $newsubmenu)

$fileitem      = GUICtrlCreateMenuitem ("Open", $contextmenu)
$saveitem      = GUICtrlCreateMenuitem ("Save", $contextmenu)
GUICtrlCreateMenuitem ("", $contextmenu)   ; separator

$notepad      = GUICtrlCreateMenuitem ("Notepad", $contextmenu)

GUISetState ()
WinSetState ($title, "",@SW_HIDE)

While 1
$msg = GUIGetMsg()
if $msg = $notepad then Run ( "notepad.exe")
    Sleep(10)
WEnd


Func Terminate()
    Exit 0
EndFunc

Func RClickie()
$pos = MouseGetPos()
WinMove ($title, "", $pos[0], $pos[1])
ControlClick ($title,"","","right")
WinSetState ($title, "",@SW_hide)
EndFunc
