Hi,
I am having issues with menus and am hoping someone has a suggestion.
Basically, I want a context menu look and functionality, with the
ability to have accelerators (any idea why accelerators are forbidden
for context menus?)
I've tried just making a button group where each button spawns a
pulldown menu (like what you get with CW_PDMENU) but it seems that the
top level buttons can't have accelerators (while any button in the
pulldown menus can).
So then I thought I'd be clever and have a single top level button
which I then programmatically 'push' in order to automatically drop
down the menu. That is, I capture the right click on the draw window
which says "time for a menu" then I show the top level base of my
menu, with one button in it, and then tell the button to 'drop down
your menu' without forcing the user to make the extra mouse click.
But I can't figure out how to programmatically push the button -- send
event doesn't seem to do it.
Any suggestions?
On a related note, I wrote an extension to CW_PDMENU which allows the
setting of accelerators and checked_menus for each menu item (rather
than having the string 'code / menuitem name / handler' I just
appended ' / accelerator / checked?' It works fine (except not for
context menus and not for the top level buttons), but this seems like
such an obvious thing to do I was wondering if it had been implemented
elsewhere and I just missed it.
Thanks,
Eric
