Processing the WM_CONTEXTMENU Message
The WM_CONTEXTMENU message is generated when an application's window procedure passes the WM_RBUTTONUP or WM_NCRBUTTONUP message to the DefWindowProc function. The application can process this message to display a shortcut menu
appropriate to a specific portion of its screen. If the application does not
display a shortcut menu, it should pass the message to DefWindowProc for default handling.
Following is an example of WM_CONTEXTMENU message processing as it might
appear in an application's window procedure. The low-order and high-order words of
the lParam parameter specify the screen coordinates of the mouse when the right mouse
button is released. The application-defined OnContextMenu function returns TRUE
if it displays a context menu, or FALSE if it does not.
case WM_CONTEXTMENU:
if (!OnContextMenu(hwnd, LOWORD(lParam), HIWORD(lParam)))
return DefWindowProc(hwnd, uMsg, wParam, lParam);
break;
The following application-defined OnContextMenu function displays a shortcut
menu if the specified mouse position is within the window's client area. A more
sophisticated function might display one of several different menus, depending
on which portion of the client area is specified. To actually display the
shortcut menu, this example calls an application-defined function called
DisplayContextMenu. For a description of this function, see Displaying a Shortcut Menu.
BOOL WINAPI OnContextMenu(HWND hwnd, int x, int y)
{
RECT rc; // client area of window
POINT pt = { x, y }; // location of mouse click
// Get the bounding rectangle of the client area.
GetClientRect(hwnd, &rc);
// Convert the mouse position to client coordinates.
ScreenToClient(hwnd, &pt);
// If the position is in the client area, display a
// shortcut menu.
if (PtInRect(&rc, pt)) {
ClientToScreen(hwnd, &pt);
DisplayContextMenu(hwnd, pt);
return TRUE;
}
// Return FALSE if no menu is displayed.
return FALSE;
}

Nostalgia .Net |

.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 » |
