Context Menu on Richtextbox

[bill brave]

On Richtextbox control, when I click right mouse button, default context menu will be displayed.

Please help me that : Can I change default menu ?
If yes, How to do that ?

Thank you in advance.

You can't change the default, but there is a workaround. In the MouseUp event of the texbox, check to see if the right button is clicked, then set the Enabled property to false, and then back to true. this way, the popup will not show up, then you can show your own.


private Sub RichTextBox1_MouseUp(Button as Integer, Shift as Integer, x as Single, y as Single)

If Button = 2 then
RichTextBox1.Enabled = false
RichTextBox1.Enabled = true
Popupmenu mnuMyPopup
End If

End Sub

Your idea is good. Thank you.

But I see that the default menu still shows after my menu.

I found out this way :

private Sub rtfText_MouseUp(Button as Integer, Shift as Integer, x as Single, y as Single)

If (Button = 2) then
rtfText.AutoVerbMenu = false
PopupMenu mnuMyContext
End If

End Sub
