.NET Forum / Windows Forms / WinForm Controls / January 2008Modifying default context menu
In VS2005 I would like to add an entry to the default context menu for a textbox control, but don't see any way to get access to the default context menu. If I create my own context menu, is there any way to get the functionality of the default context menu items without writing a lot of code? I don't think it would be easy to duplicate the 'Undo' functionality in the exact same way as the default one. And finally, the default context menu for a ReadOnly textbox has the Paste item enabled. Is that a bug? Well, as far as I know, the TextBox control has the following methods: Copy(), Cut(), Paste(), and Undo(). This way you have the essential functionality done immediately. You can also change the text flow direction using RightToLeft property. As for the Unicode specialities, I am not sure, but I believe that would have to be done manually.

I can't find any way to get a reference to the default menu. >Well, as far as I know, the TextBox control has the following methods: >Copy(), Cut(), Paste(), and Undo().

Yes, that's right, but your second question was "If I create my own context menu, is there any way to get the functionality of the default context menu items without writing a lot of code? ..." :) Since I do not know of any way of modifying the default context menu (I do not say there is none...), I answered the second question to ensure you that the essential functionality of the default context menu can be maintained without writing a lot of code. There may be a way to modify the default menu, but if you need just copy, paste, cut, undo, and select all, it is really easier to go via your own context menu.

Thanks, that helps a lot. >Yes, that's right, but your second question was "If I create my own >context menu, is there any way to get the [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] >> >> And finally, the default context menu for a ReadOnly textbox has the >> >> Paste item enabled. Is that a bug? Don't worry, I might have quoted the second question. Everything would have been clear then. There's no need to apologize. :) Best regards, nvx > Sorry, I misunderstood your answer.

In addition, to duplicate the Delete command you'll have to use P/Invoke and the WM_CLEAR message. There's no builtin .NET method for it. /claes > Well, as far as I know, the TextBox control has the following methods: > Copy(), Cut(), Paste(), and Undo().

For a Textbox, can't you just set .Text = ""? >In addition, to duplicate the Delete command you'll have to use P/Invoke and >the WM_CLEAR message. There's no builtin .NET method for it.

Simply setting the Text property does not enable the undo feature. WM_CLEAR does. /claes > For a Textbox, can't you just set .Text = ""? > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] >>>> And finally, the default context menu for a ReadOnly textbox has the >>>> Paste item enabled.
