How Do You Invoke The Context Menu?
OK, we know how to tweak the system context menu via the registry.
But what I want to know is, how do I trigger it? That is, if I am showing a list of files in my own ListView, how do I invoke the standard system context menu for a selected file?
Or do I have to write my own context menu handler?

How Can I Pu My Application On The Context Menu?
Hello, everybody.
I have just finished my program, and since it edits .txt files, I would like it to appear in the context menu when right-clicking on a file name in Explorer, just as Winzip and other applications do.
Can anybody tell me how to make this happen?
Thanks
Pass The Listview Name To A Context Menu?
I have 2 Listviews on my form. I'd like to have one common context menu for both, and depending on which listview I right-click on, I need to pass that name to the function so it knows which lv to work with. (i.e. check selected items)
I could do this with "sender" in .NET, but how would I do it in VB6?
Code:
Private Sub mnuLVContextCheck_Click(Index As Integer)
LVContextCheck sender???
End Sub
Public Sub LVContextCheck(lv As ListView)
Dim itmx As ListItem
For Each itmx In lv.ListItems
If itmx.Selected = True Then itmx.Checked = True
Next itmx
End Sub
Listview And Context Menu In WinCE
I'm using eMbedded Visual C++ 6.0, targeting a Compaq iPaq device running Pocket PC 2002. My code is in NON MFC.
I need the classic behaviour of a context menu popping up on “tap and hold” on an item in a list view. One of the items in the context menu is: “show another form (lets call it Box 2)”, and I have gain that functionality. But when I want to close Box 2, for some reason it’s necessary to tap two times on the Close button. But only if there is any items selected in the listview!, -othervise if I activate the popup menu somewhere else in the listview, then there seems to be no problem. And one more thing: I only see the problem in Target and not in the simulator.
I have enclosed a zip file containing the project and an exe-file.
Any help would be appreciated

How To Activate Context Menu For Listview Item
I'd like to create a context menu that works like the one in Windows explorer.
I.e. when you right-click on an item
the listitem under the cursor should be selected
and a popupmenu should be desplayed.
So far it looks as if the Click event is triggered, no matter whether the left or right mouse button is clicked. (I need left-clicks for another purpose).
I tried trapping the MouseDown-event, but then I don't know how to select the item under the cursor (HitText returns Nothing).
Any help greatly appreciated.
Select Item In Context Menu Of Another Application
I want to know if there is any way to invoke item in context-menu of another application.
Situation: I have an application which is a data window with “SysListView32” class. When I right click inside this window, the context menu pops-up and there is a option to copy the data, which basically gets copied to clipboard.
Problem: The problem is that the the ‘copy’ option of the context-menu doesn’t have ‘Ctrl+C’ option so sendkey doesn’t copy data from this window.
What I want? – I want to know if there is any other way where I can get menu handle or menu-id of one particular option within context menu. I want to send message to this window and achieve the result that would happened when ‘Copy’ option is selected within the context menu.
Thought – I know something like this is possible for normal menu options that are there on top of the window, like you can SendMessage to menu-id.
Can a similar this be achieved for auto selecting a particular option of context-menu of another application?
Would appreciate help on this one?

Disable MDI Parent's System Context Menu Right && Left Click Menu Pop-up. How?
I am trying to do this without much luck, but managed to get rid-of the Min/Max buttons via an MS example at the link below.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;137033
However, when a user right clicks on-the MDI parent's Caption bar, a popup up menu appears - Woud like to prevent that.
Secondly, if a user "LEFT" Click on the top Left corner of the same Caption bar (where the Icon appears); it pops the same Pop-Up Menu - Like to stop that.
Thirdly, If a user double clicks on the same menu bar, form flickers, bobs down & up (Min & back to Max state), looks back at you and say's "fooled Ya!", as if it was possessed by some sort of strange evil code. Now I Would really, really, like to make it stop doing that.
Basically, like to prevent any mouse action on MDI Parent's Title Bar. Searched for couple of hours in vain (pain), but nothing turned up for what I am looking for. I can stop the right click on the form it-self by detecting mouse down button, but that’s not preventing the click event in MDI parent's title/caption bar.
Anyone know how or what needs to be done to get this to work? Any and all help, suggestions, etc. will be greatly appreciated!

Swf Context Menu
Does anyone know a way to disable the context menu which appears when you right click on a swf? In the control's properties, you can disable everything except for the last selection.....which is a link to Macromedia's website. My goal is preventing users from opening up I.E.
I've tried using a webbrowser control instead of the shockwave control to display the swf. With this I used Bloodeye's code to disable right click in a webbrowser, which worked w/ html pages, but not when the url was a non-embedded swf.
any ideas?

HELP On Context Menu
can someone tell me how to implement this,.,.I want to ADD TO..NOT REPLACE the internet explorer context menu. I want to add "Open in new tab" option to the right click menu..heres how its supposed to be done..just need the "explained code" for how to read/write/and delete from the registry....
Implementation Steps
The following steps are required to add an entry into the standard context menus in Internet Explorer.
Create a new key, using the text you want displayed in the context menu as the name, under:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerMenuExt
The result should look like:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerMenuExt<Menu Text>
<Menu Text> should be replaced with the text that you want displayed in the context menu. The name can include an ampersand (&) character, which will cause the character that follows to be underlined and used as a shortcut key.
Set the default value of the key to the URL of the page that contains the script you want the context menu entry to execute. This script can obtain the parent window object, the screen where the context menu item was executed, from the menuArguments property of the external object.
Optional. Create a binary value, Contexts, under:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerMenuExt<Menu Text>
The result should look like:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerMenuExt<Menu Text>Contexts
Set the value of Contexts to indicate which contexts your entry should appear in the standard context menu by using a bit mask consisting of the logical OR of the following values:
Context Value
Default 0x1
Images 0x2
Controls 0x4
Tables 0x8
Text selection 0x10
Anchor 0x20
For example, if you want your context menu entry to appear in the default context menu and when the context is a text selection, set the value of Contexts to 0x11.
Optional. Create a DWORD value, Flags, under:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerMenuExt<Menu Text>
The result should look like:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerMenuExt<Menu Text>Flags
Set the value of Flags to 0x1 to make the script run just as if it had been called through the showModalDialog method. Unlike the showModalDialog method, the script can access the window object of the parent window from the menuArguments property of the external object.
so Ive all of the Pseuso code..i just need the "how to" and comment on the code to explain it to me would be great!
