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!

Context Menu
I want to know how 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?

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?

Context Menu In NT
Hi,
I am making a submenu in context menu of the explorer. For that I am using the API calls for InsertMenu etc. The code is working fine for all the OS except Windows NT. In NT it makes the submenu and the icon associated with the menu but the text of the menu does not appears. Even the functionality of the menu is working properly.
Does anyone have any idea about it ?
Please reply soon
thanks in advance

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!
How Do A Add A Context Menu To A SSTab?
Hi,
I'm currently trying to add a right click popup menu to a sstab. The menu appears fine, but it doesn't select the tab that I right click (the previously selected tab remains selected).

Anybody have any idea?
Thanks!

Windows Context Menu
I wasn't sure where to put this question, so I have put it in General.
My question is: In Windows, when you right click files, it comes up with a context menu and a number of options like add to zip file, rename file, etc... I know this is probably more of a windows programming question, but how is it possible to add your own items to that menu through VB?
I ask this as I have an encryption program and it would be useful if after it is installed, all you need to do is right click an item and choose decrypt to do exactly that.
Thanks if you can help.
Custom Context Menu, Can It Be Done?
Hi
I'm experimenting with the Webbrowser control and would like to "upgrade" it's functionality.
One thing I need to add is a custom context menu (right click menu). The menu-items in the context menu would be based on whether or not the user has selected some text, right-clicked on an image or right-clicked on a link.
So what this all comes down to is:
*I need to catch the rightclick event of the webbrowser control (it doesn't have one so I guess I need to subclass, but I'm hoping someone else has a better idea)
*I need to know what the user has right-clicked on (which object), or if it is text, the selected text.
Does anyone know how I might achieve these 2 goals?
Thanks

API Scroll Bar Context Menu
I've searched far & wide and can't find anything on this...
I'm working with a scroll bar and was wondering how "Scroll Here" works on the context menu (see attached jpeg).
I can get my app to respond to Top/Bottom/Page Down/etc... With the WS_VSCROLL/WS_HSCROLL events and SB_TOP/SB_BOTTOM messages.
But, What does "Scroll Here" do and what scroll events/actions does it correspond to?
Right-Click on the scroll bar in Internet Explorer OR Windows Explorer and you'll see what I mean!
Richtextbox Context Menu
Is there an easy way to add a menu item to the default context menu of a richtextbox, or are you better off setting its autoverbmenu property to false, and recreating the whole menu from scratch? My richtextbox is already subclassed, so some of the work will have already been done, if there is a way just to add a menu item.
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?
