C++ PopUpMenu

[NLscotty]

Hello,

I'm trying to create a PopUpMenu, I'm not sure that's the real name. I mean the window that appears when u right click at this site for example. I want to have such a thing, which API should I use?

And I want to create 2 seperates things, one when u right click in the ListView, and one when u click at another ListView.

Thanks,

NM

First you need the menu resource. Then you'll want to handle the WM_CONTEXTMENU message in your message loop. From there, it depends on your framework. Are you using MFC, some other framework, or straight WinAPI?

[VictorN]

Also have a look at TrackPopupMenu(Ex) and other menu functions in MSDN.
There is an MFC example of Context menu (http://www.functionx.com/visualc/howto/contextmenu.htm) but you could very easy to adopt it to the plain Win32 type.

I code in pure api, what kind of resource do you mean? I dont use a .rc file to create my window.

Thanjks, ill take a look at that.

I can only find some things about recourse file with it, none in pure code.

[VictorN]

Then you must use Menu APIs to create context menu.

[NLscotty]

I came up with this

case WM_CREATE:
hmenu = CreatePopupMenu();
memset(&emii, 0, sizeof(MENUITEMINFO));
emii.cbSize = sizeof(MENUITEMINFO);
emii.fMask = MIIM_STRING | MIIM_FTYPE;
emii.fType = MIIM_STRING;
emii.dwTypeData = TEXT("Copy");
emii.cch = 4;
InsertMenuItem(hmenu, 0, TRUE, (LPCMENUITEMINFO) &emii);


if(wParam == IDC_BLOCK)
{
TrackPopupMenu(hmenu,TPM_LEFTBUTTON,100,100,0,hWnd,0);
x = GetLastError();

if i use GetLasterror at the second code, error 1401:Invalid menu handle.

[hoxsiew]

Where is hmenu declared? It is going to have to be global if you assign it in WM_CREATE then use it later in a different message handler.

[VictorN]

And where does your second code block come from? And what is IDC_BLOCK? :confused:

Note that you should NOT call GetLastError unless an API called just before has failed.

[NLscotty]

hemnu is declared in my wndproc (main window loop), so that shoudl be fine.

IDC_BLOCK is name of a button of mine, so if its clicked, it should show me the popupmenu.
It should not work at a button alter, but this was for test prupose.

[VictorN]

hemnu is declared in my wndproc (main window loop), so that shoudl be fine..Sorry, but we cannot believe...
Please, show your code (snippets) with all that declarations/definitions...

Please re-read hoxsiew post # 7 above.
When your WndProc is called with WM_COMMAND message, that hmenu contains garbage.

[NLscotty]

thanks that worked, which i define as weird, but well it works:)

Next problem is that when i add 2 lines, they are next each other, and not under each other, it looks weird, and how can i make it that if people right clcik at a treeview, the window appears and that when they hit ignore, the value of the third colum in a char gets?

[Igor Vartanov]

thanks that worked, which i define as weirdWeird was your declaring it in function scope. Right after processing WM_CREATE the function returns, and your menu handle gets lost. Next time when you process button click you use uninitialized variable value and fail with no doubt.

[NLscotty]

I see, thanks for all the help, but

How can i make it like that, when someone right click at a listview box, the window appears, and when they click at something the char from that colum gets in a char.

[VictorN]

To handle a "right click" you should handle WM_CONTEXTMENU message (note that hoxsiew already pointed it out in the post#2!)

[NLscotty]

thanks, i didnt release me that yet... sorry

That's working now, but its at the compelte GUI, i want it specific at the listview, and after that they can choose between Ignore/Block, i can see those, i've to give them the wIDD, but how can i handle those, and how can I get the line and the right colums variab out the lisvtiew?

[VictorN]

Please, explain more clear and with normal words rather than abbreviations what you want and what for.

[NLscotty]

Sorry, I would try to make it clearder:

First: The Pop Up Menu works now, that fine. But it works at the entire gui, I would like it to only work at the specific list View, so i should try to get the HWND from where the click is, thats question 1.

Second, when question 1 is working, Someone can go to listview -> right click -> copy, or w/e, so i need the value from the colum and right line of the listview, how can i do that?

Thanks.

[hoxsiew]

You'll probably want to subclass your listview's wndproc and handle the WM_CONTEXTMENU in it's message loop instead. the listview has messages and notifications more appropriate for what you are trying to do.

[NLscotty]

Could you explain me that a bit more? Its not really clear for me

[VictorN]

Implement your own window procedure for this list control and handle WM_CONTEXTMENU message in this procedure.
It is just the same way like you've implemented the WndProc for your main window.

[VictorN]

1. Where did you set a break point?

2. case WM_CONTEXTMENU:
if(WM_RBUTTONDOWN) {

POINT p;
GetCursorPos(&p);
TrackPopupMenu(hmenu,TPM_LEFTBUTTON,p.x,p.y,0,hWnd,0);
}
This line in read does not make any sense, because WM_RBUTTONDOWN is defined as a number not equaled to zero.
Besides, you don't need to call GetCursorPos: LPARAM already contains coordinates you need. Please, read MSDN about WM_CONTEXTMENU message.

3. You can also handle WM_CONTEXTMENU message in the main window procedure and check the WPARAM which contains the window handle of the child control (again, read the MSDN documentation)

[NLscotty]

1. In my new listview proc, it doesnt cross it.

2. Hmm, it worked, now you say it doesnt make sense, this confuses me a little

3. Oee but i was told this was how i should do it, to obtain the char value of the colum that is clicked.

[VictorN]

2. Hmm, it worked, now you say it doesnt make sense, this confuses me a little.What "worked"? You've just written it didn't! :confused:

3. Oee but i was told this was how i should do it, to obtain the char value of the colum that is clicked.Could you more clear define what "the char value of the colum that is clicked" means?

[NLscotty]

What "worked"? You've just written it didn't! :confused:

Could you more clear define what "the char value of the colum that is clicked" means?

Well, I posted before that it worked for the entire GUI, with that peice of coded, but now i want to to be specific to the ListView. So it works only there:)

Well, you can double click a listview and the value will be bleu ligned, right? Well every line of me has about 4 values, im only intrested in the third colum value. If some1 clicks at a line in my listview, and right click, this pop up menu should appears, with a choose, block/ignore, and if he clicks ignore, it should copy the value of the listview's third colum into a char ( or wchar_t, which i use). I dont know how I could explain it better, i could show a pic if you would like to?
