right-clicking on the TMenuItem

[Natter]

Is it possible to handle right-clicking on the TMenuItem object ?

[karinha]

Maybe:

Code: Select all | Expand

   SwapMouseButton( 1 ) // For Left-handers
 

Regards, saludos.

I didn't understand. How can I use SwapMouseButton(1 ) ? Any click (both right and left) on the TMenuItem object causes the selection of a menu option. I need to make this choice only on the left click. And use the right click for other purposes.

Sorry Natter, it was the only idea that occurred to me at the time. Comment what you would do differently, PLS.

Code: Select all | Expand

// C:\FWH\SAMPLES\NATTER3.PRG

#include "Fivewin.ch"

STATIC cName1

FUNCTION Main()

   LOCAL oWnd

   cName1 := "Test"

   DEFINE WINDOW oWnd

   oWnd:bRClicked  := {| nRow, nCol, nFlags | MyMenu( oWnd, nRow, nCol ) }

   ACTIVATE WINDOW oWnd CENTERED

RETURN NIL

FUNCTION MyMenu( oWnd, nRow, nCol )

   LOCAL oMenu, oItem1, oItem2, oItem3
   LOCAL cName := "Test.."
   LOCAL cName2 := "Test2"

   MENU oMenu POPUP 2007

//    IF lOptionLeft

      SwapMouseButton( 1 ) // For Left-handers

//    ENDIF

      MENUITEM oItem1 PROMPT "Natter Click" ;
          ACTION( oWnd:End() )

      MENUITEM oItem2 PROMPT cName1

      SEPARATOR

      MENUITEM oITem3 PROMPT "Others" ACTION MsgInfo( Len( oMenu:aMenuItems ) )

   ENDMENU

   ACTIVATE POPUP oMenu WINDOW oWnd  AT 140, 10

   SwapMouseButton( 0 )

RETURN( oMenu )

DLL32 FUNCTION SwapMouseButton(swap AS 7) AS 7 PASCAL LIB "USER32.DLL"

// FIN / END

Hello
I implemented this in the menus a long time ago to account for this event, but I never got around to putting it into production.
I'll review my notes and let you know.

[Natter]

Thanks, I'll be waiting !

Thanks, I'll be waiting !

Yes, I've already remembered it and it is indeed included in the Fivewin build
Simply:

Code: Select all | Expand

oWnd:bRButtonMenuUp := { | nOrdItem, hMnu, nRow, nCol, o | MsgInfo( "Hello" ) }
 

These are the parameters you can receive in the codeblock

Code: Select all | Expand

   Eval( ::bRButtonMenuUp, nOrdIt, hMnu, aPoint[ 1 ], aPoint[ 2 ], Self )
 

Try and comment

Great !

For example, such a menu:

Code: Select all | Expand

MENU oMen POPUP
   MENUITEM oItm PROMPT "Tree"
      MENU
          MENUITEM oItm PROMPT "First"
          MENUITEM oItm PROMPT "Second"
      ENDMENU
ENDMENU

Cristobal, I need to handle right-clicking on the "First" or "Second" menu options. I don't understand how to use :bRButtonMenuUp it in this case.
