Context Menu

Hi!

I need to change form's standard context menu code.
Eg. I want to order records by my own code.

Can I make it, or must I create other context menu
and link it to my form??

I'd like to know also how to enable/disable contextmenu's
items ;)

Thanx a lot, Leon!

The common approach would be to create your own CommandBar and use that.
Use the form's (or a control's) property-sheet to set the "Shortcut Menu
Bar"-property.
I'd like to know also how to enable/disable contextmenu's
items ;)


Below is a function I am using to update a bar's items all at once (check
for line-breaks).
The easiest way to call it will be to use the ShortcutMenuBar-property
directly:

MenuItems_Dis_E nable lstBox.Shortcut MenuBar, _
1, True, _
2, True, _
3, False,

The above sample targets the bar being used with the control "lstBox"
(whatever name that may be) and sets the enabled-prop of the first three
items (1, 2, 3). See the OH for "CommandBar s Collection Object" for more
detailed info.

Hi, I'm looking of a way (preferred - a ready class or dll) to customize the context menu. many application has more controls inside the context menu (like textbox, sliders, checkbox, panel etc'). is there a way making this without writing my own context menu (meaning, popup form or something) ?

I'm working on a plotting control. The plotting control will have a context menu with basic commands for "scaling", "zooming", etc. Is there a way that, from the parent form, I can add more commands to the control's context menu? I'm envisioning a case where the control has a set of context menu items, and the parent form also has a set of context menu items. Thanks.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
