Creating a Shortcut Font-Attributes Menu
The example in this section contains portions of code from an application that
creates and displays a shortcut menu that enables the user to set fonts and
font attributes. The application displays the menu in the client area of its main
window whenever the user clicks the left mouse button.
Here is the menu template for the shortcut menu that is provided in the
application's resource-definition file.
PopupMenu MENU
BEGIN
POPUP "Dummy Popup"
BEGIN
POPUP "Fonts"
BEGIN
MENUITEM "Courier", IDM_FONT_COURIER
MENUITEM "Times Roman", IDM_FONT_TMSRMN
MENUITEM "Swiss", IDM_FONT_SWISS
MENUITEM "Helvetica", IDM_FONT_HELV
MENUITEM "Old English", IDM_FONT_OLDENG
END
POPUP "Sizes"
BEGIN
MENUITEM "7", IDM_SIZE_7
MENUITEM "8", IDM_SIZE_8
MENUITEM "9", IDM_SIZE_9
MENUITEM "10", IDM_SIZE_10
MENUITEM "11", IDM_SIZE_11
MENUITEM "12", IDM_SIZE_12
MENUITEM "14", IDM_SIZE_14
END
POPUP "Styles"
BEGIN
MENUITEM "Bold", IDM_STYLE_BOLD
MENUITEM "Italic", IDM_STYLE_ITALIC
MENUITEM "Strike Out", IDM_STYLE_SO
MENUITEM "Superscript", IDM_STYLE_SUPER
MENUITEM "Subscript", IDM_STYLE_SUB
END
END
END
The following example gives the window procedure and supporting functions used
to create and display the shortcut menu.
LRESULT APIENTRY MenuWndProc(hwnd, uMsg, wParam, lParam)
HWND hwnd;
UINT uMsg;
WPARAM wParam;
LPARAM lParam;
{
RECT rc; // client area
POINT pt; // location of mouse click
switch (uMsg) {
case WM_LBUTTONDOWN:
// Get the bounding rectangle of the client area.
GetClientRect(hwnd, (LPRECT) &rc);
// Get the client coordinates for the mouse click.
pt.x = LOWORD(lParam);
pt.y = HIWORD(lParam);
// If the mouse click took place inside the client
// area, execute the application-defined function
// that displays the shortcut menu.
if (PtInRect((LPRECT) &rc, pt))
HandlePopupMenu(hwnd, pt);
break;
.
. // Process other window messages.
.
default:
return DefWindowProc(hwnd, uMsg, wParam, lParam);
}
return NULL;
}
VOID APIENTRY HandlePopupMenu(hwnd, pt)
HWND hwnd;
POINT pt;
{
HMENU hmenu; // menu template
HMENU hmenuTrackPopup; // shortcut menu
// Load the menu template containing the shortcut menu from the
// application's resources.
hmenu = LoadMenu(hinst, "PopupMenu");
if (hmenu == NULL)
return;
// Get the first shortcut menu in the menu template. This is the
// menu that TrackPopupMenu displays.
hmenuTrackPopup = GetSubMenu(hmenu, 0);
// TrackPopup uses screen coordinates, so convert the
// coordinates of the mouse click to screen coordinates.
ClientToScreen(hwnd, (LPPOINT) &pt);
// Draw and track the shortcut menu.
TrackPopupMenu(hmenuTrackPopup, TPM_LEFTALIGN | TPM_LEFTBUTTON,
pt.x, pt.y, 0, hwnd, NULL);
// Destroy the menu.
DestroyMenu(hmenu);
}

.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
