Right click menu on EditorGadget!

[Bonne_den_kule]

Stringgadget has it, a right click menu where you can undo, cut, paste, etc...
How can I get this menu for the editor gadget.
I'm 100% sure it's Windows API.

The snippets below are taken from a simple editor I posted here:

In the OpenMainWindow() procedure:

Code: Select all

;;;;
    ;EditorGadgets popup menu 
    If CreatePopupMenu(#IdPopUp) 
      ;Edit main menu items 
      MenuItem(#IdFileOpen, TxtFileOpen) 
      MenuItem(#IdFileSave, TxtFileSave) 
      MenuItem(#IdFileSaveAs, TxtFileSaveAs) 
      MenuBar() 
      MenuItem(#IdEditUndo, TxtEditUndo) 
      MenuItem(#IdEditAll, TxtEditAll) 
      MenuBar() 
      MenuItem(#IdEditCut, TxtEditCut) 
      MenuItem(#IdEditCopy, TxtEditCopy) 
      MenuItem(#IdEditPaste, TxtEditPaste) 
      MenuItem(#IdEditClear, TxtEditClear) 
      MenuItem(#IdEditView, TxtEditView) 
      MenuBar()      
      MenuItem(#IdEditFind, TxtEditFind) 
      MenuItem(#IdEditRepl, TxtEditRepl) 
      MenuBar() 
      MenuItem(#IdFilePrint, TxtFilePrint) 
      MenuItem(#IdFileExplore, TxtFileExplore) 
      MenuBar() 
      MenuItem(#IdFileExit, TxtFileExit) 
      MenuItem(#IdFileExitSave, TxtFileExitSave) 
    Else 
      ;Create popup menu error 
      ProcedureReturn 0 
    EndIf
;;;;

In the event handler:

Code: Select all

;;;;
    ;Mouseclick Event 
    Case #WM_RBUTTONDOWN 
      ;Right mouseclick, open editorgadget popup menu 
      Select GetGadgetState(#Idpanel) 
        Case 0 
          ;Tab 0, templates editorgadget right clicked 
          DisplayPopupMenu(#IdPopUp, PanelWinID(#IdPanel, 0)) 
        Case 1 
          ;Tab 1, html source editorgadget right clicked 
          DisplayPopupMenu(#IdPopUp, PanelWinID(#IdPanel, 1)) 
      EndSelect

@Bonne: You don't have to bump on the same day... have some patience.

The menu on the stringgadget is in my locale language (i have a norwegian xp), so it's not manually created by Fred. I think that is just a win api call, but I have not found something on msdn or google.

But thanks for the help, utopiomania.

The string gadget menu is automatic for string gadget. To create one for editor gadget you need to do it manually.

I search after it at google and found out that you right. The context menu is impleted by api in edit control, but not in rich edit control.

Been experimenting with this (and others) and am wondering if there's any way to have a right click apply to an editorgadget ONLY.

Seems when I try this method, no matter how I "segment" it, the right click menu applies to everything on the window. What I would like is a right click menu applying to the editor gadget but not the other items.

Anyone know if it's possible with PureBasic?

cheers

There are several ways to do it, but I imagine the quickest is to do one more test once you've caught the buttonpress: ChildWindowFromPoint_() equal to GadgetID(#editorgadget). Then call a popupmenu you've created for the purpose instead of your usual one.

Man you're on top of things

Will give it a try. It's good to know it's possible and that I'm not spinning my wheels.

It is strange to me that StingGadget has it and EditorGadget doesn't.
Is there any simple way for the standard right click menu to be functional for EditorGadget? I mean not to create a custom menu, but copy the one existing for the StringGadget.

@Psychophanta:

If this is enough for You:
keyboardshortcuts for EditorGadget (CtRl+C, CtRl+V ...) still work, however there is no visible right click menu, at least on Windows XP
