POP-UP Menu

[Fred Oxenby]

Peter Stephensen published an example of PopUp-menu in
Source-code forum.Mine is a variation of that.
As discussions is not proper in that forum I have raised
this questions here.
I have learned that the proper way to handle popup-menues
generated via right-click or Shift/F10 is via
%WM_CONTEXTMENU message.
In the code below I have a question.
Why are the returned handle for static (label/frame/image) not
the actual handle. Instead it is the owning window's handle
that is returned.
In the case of EDIT (TextBox) I have a vauge idea

#Compile Exe
#Include "win32api.inc"

%IDM_TEST1 = 101
%IDM_TEST2 = 102
%IDM_TEST3 = 103
%IDM_TEST4 = 104

Declare CallBack Function DlgProc
Global ghDlg As Long
Global Id()As Long
Function PbMain
  ReDim Id(200 To 206)As Long
    Dim S(1 To 5)As String
    S(1)="Line1"
    S(2)="Line2"
    S(3)="Line3"
    S(4)="Line4"
    S(5)="Line5"
    Dialog New 0, "Right click !",,,400,300, %DS_CENTER Or %WS_SYSMENU Or %WS_MINIMIZEBOX To ghDlg
    Id(200)=ghDlg
    Control Add TextBox, ghDlg,201,"Fred",10,10,100,15
    Control Add Label,   ghDlg,202,"Label",10,30,100,15
    Control Add Button,  ghDlg,203,"Button",10,50,100,15
    Control Add Frame ,  ghDlg,204,"Frame",10,70,100,15
    Control Add ListBox, ghDlg,205,S(),10,90,100,35
    Control Add ComboBox,ghDlg,206,S(),10,130,100,55
    Control Add Image,   ghDlg,207,"#1000",10,150,100,50
    Control Add Button,  ghDlg, %IDCANCEL, "&Exit", 350, 255, 40, 14
    For i& = 201 To 207:Id(i&)=GetDlgItem(ghDlg,i&):Next i&
    Dialog Show Modal ghDlg Call DlgProc

End Function


CallBack Function DlgProc
    Local pt As POINTAPI
    Local x As Long,y As Long
    Local hPopup As Long

    Select Case CbMsg
    Case %WM_CONTEXTMENU
        x = LoWrd(CbLparam) : y = HiWrd(CbLparam)
        If (x=65535) Or (y=65535) Then
         'Get the LOC of the control in focus
        End If
        Array Scan Id(),=CbCtl,To r&
        #Debug Print Format$(199 + r&)& " => " & Format$(CbCtl)
        Menu New Popup To hPopup
        Menu Add String, hPopup, "First Choice", %IDM_TEST1, %MF_ENABLED
        Menu Add String, hPopup, "Second Choice", %IDM_TEST2, %MF_ENABLED
        Menu Add String, hPopup, "Third Choice", %IDM_TEST3, %MF_ENABLED
        Menu Add String, hPopup, "Best Choice", %IDM_TEST4, %MF_ENABLED
        TrackPopupMenu hPopup, %TPM_LEFTALIGN Or %TPM_RIGHTBUTTON, x, y, 0, ghDlg, ByVal 0

    Case %WM_COMMAND
        Select Case LoWrd(CbWparam)
        Case %IDCANCEL
            Dialog End CbHndl
        Case %IDM_TEST1
            MsgBox "%IDM_TEST1"
        Case %IDM_TEST2
            MsgBox "%IDM_TEST2"
        Case %IDM_TEST3
            MsgBox "%IDM_TEST3"
        Case %IDM_TEST4
            MsgBox "%IDM_TEST4"
        End Select
    End Select

End Function

fred --
if you want to detect, on which control right click occurs, i suggest to subclass whole dialog (for example, like in http://www.powerbasic.com/support/pb...ad.php?t=12662 )

otherwise it will be problems not only with static, but with edit boxes also.
