Re: custom menu tear off?

["Reinhard Claus" <rclaus(at)gmail.com>]

I just posted this to xsibase, might still be useful for you

 here's
something I recently put together... To make it contextual you could
use something like the following ('pseudocode'):

if selection(0) <> nothing
   d = DisplayPopup("Copy selection;Cut selection;Duplicate Selection;---;Exit XSI");
   if d==1 then
       selection.cut(....);
   else if d==2 ...
    ........
else 
   d = DisplayPopup("Paste;---;Exit XSI");
   if d==1 then
        selection.paste(.....)
    ... etc
end ifownloadable at http://www.nycg.org/xpop.htm

Hi,

 

thanks, but my c++ knowledge isn't that advanced... still with jscript. will have a look at it, though.

I was hopoing there's a parameter in the RegisterMenu-Command which I probably missed.

 

REQUEST:

- parameter for tear off in the RegisterMenu-Command

- add anchorpoints to be able to register menus in the right menu bars (Select, Edit, Transform, etc.

Hi Juan,

 

If your goal is to create your custom contextual menu inside XSI, it is very simple with C++.

 

#include <windows.h>

 

HINSTANCE __g__hInstance = NULL;

 

BOOL APIENTRY DllMain( HANDLE hModule,
                       DWORD  ul_reason_for_call,
                       LPVOID lpReserved
      )
{

    switch (ul_reason_for_call)
 {
  case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
  case DLL_THREAD_ATTACH:
  case DLL_THREAD_DETACH:
  case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
  break;
    }

 

 __g__hInstance = (HINSTANCE)hModule;
    return TRUE;
}

 

// Command_Execute

Application app;

 POINT GlobalMousePosition;
 GetCursorPos(&GlobalMousePosition);

 

 HMENU MyMenu = CreatePopupMenu();
 AppendMenu(MyMenu,MF_STRING,0,"Item zero");
 AppendMenu(MyMenu,MF_STRING,1,"Item one");
 AppendMenu(MyMenu,MF_STRING,2,"Item two");

 

 SetMenu((HWND)__g__hInstance,MyMenu);

 

 int retval = TrackPopupMenuEx( MyMenu,
         TPM_RETURNCMD,
         GlobalMousePosition.x,
         GlobalMousePosition.y,
         GetForegroundWindow(),NULL);

 

 app.LogMessage(L"Global Cursor Position : ");
 app.LogMessage(CValue(GlobalMousePosition.x).GetAsText());
 app.LogMessage(CValue(GlobalMousePosition.y).GetAsText());

 

 app.LogMessage(L"Returned Value : " + CValue((long)retval).GetAsText() );

 

And you could call command for to show menu...

I don't Know in linux.
